The Gunners are keen to tie Ozil and Sanchez down to new contracts, with the pair having two years to run on their current deals from this summer.

They were reports in Wednesday's newspapers that the duo are unsure about their futures and are seeking assurances from the club about the team's ambitions for next season.

But Wenger claims talks have begun with with both players and he is confident they will agree to extend their stays at the Emirates.

"These two players have two years to go on their contracts at the end of the season," said Wenger.

"So that is why we are not in a hurry. The players are very keen to stay and we are talking."
