Goldstein can't believe Arsene Wenger is still maintaining that Alexis Sanchez will stay - because he's certain the Chile superstar is off.

But he's even more surprised that this 'will he go, will he stay' transfer saga is dragging on for so long.

Arsenal play Chelsea in the Community Shield on Sunday (2pm) before kicking off their Premier League season on Friday against Leicester.

And Goldstein said: "Take Chelsea as an example. Antonio Conte knew from the first day after the season finished that Diego Costa wouldn't be featuring for Chelsea.

"Come pre-season or the beginning of the season, that's dealt with. 

"He's still there, a bid hasn't come in but he's a Chelsea player.

Arsenal must know Alexis Sanchez’s stance. I don't believe for one moment that on August 3rd, 2017, Arsene Wenger or Alexis Sanchez don't know their future

"Chelsea have moved on. They've bought another forward. 

"Arsenal must know Alexis Sanchez’s stance. I don't believe for one moment that on August 3rd, 2017, Arsene Wenger or Alexis Sanchez don't know their future.

"I don't believe it's still undecided.

"The Community Shield is at the weekend. There's a week until the start of the season. 

"Does Alexis Sanchez want to be there?"
