Arsenal Boss Speaks On AWOL Spanish Striker : Chelsea Don't Want Him
Published: August 16, 2017
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says there is no comparison between the future of his star striker Alexis Sanchez and Chelsea's Spanish-Brazilian ace Diego Costa.
The Frenchman has not ruled out the possibility of the Chilean extending his stay at the Emirates beyond 2018, while Costa has been declared surplus to requirements and is heading for the Stamford Bridge exit door.
Asked if Alexis will sign a new contract, Wenger told arsenal.com :''Look, at the moment no, because we have not progressed on that front.
''At the moment he is a player who goes into the final year of his contract and prepares for the season. We have not made any progress on the other front. ''
Asked if there’s any comparison with Diego Costa's situation at Chelsea, Wenger stated : ''No, I don’t think that Costa has only one year to go.
''I don’t think there is any comparison at all, because we want him to be with us and Chelsea does not necessarily want that.''
