Wenger said last week that he hoped the England international forward would extend his current contract, which only has one year remaining on it.

Wenger said of that trio: "We always hope, even now, that we can extend the contracts of [Alexis] Sanchez, Chamberlain and [Mesut] Ozil.

"I rate him [Chamberlain] highly and he's one of the players who is on his way up. In the last year, he has made huge progress and I want him to stay here for a long time.
