But ex-Arsenal ace Wright has insisted the German, 28, should commit his future to the club before condemning his doubters.
SunSport columnist Wright stormed: “Sign a contract, if you feel that strongly about people criticising the team — because you’re somebody who is integral to Arsenal’s success.
“You’re not signing a deal and you’re probably going to continue to hide behind the fact Sanchez is the one that everybody’s going to say, ‘Is he going to go?’.
“A player that is not actually performing on the pitch is coming out, calling people out — and he’s not signing a contract.
“It’s laughable. When they start playing, we’ll stop criticising. Ozil has been talking a lot — but what exactly is he doing? Sign a new contract and show how much you care about Arsenal.”
Boss Arsene Wenger hopes to turn the tide by making another British-record transfer bid for Thomas Lemar in January.
