Jamie Redknapp issues warning to Arsenal over Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil
ARSENAL have to tie Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil down to new contracts sooner rather than later.
The best of Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez
That is according to Jamie Redknapp.
Talks have been ongoing over new deals for the Arsenal pair, but there has been no breakthrough yet.
Sanchez was in scintillating form as he hit a hat-trick, while Ozil also netted for the Gunners as they thrashed West Ham 5-1 at the London Stadium on Saturday.
And Redknapp thinks the club can’t let things drag on too much longer.

The fact Sanchez and Ozil are yet sign sends a negative message to players thinking of joining Arsenal
“Arsenal must follow suit and get [Alexis] Sanchez and [Mesut] Ozil signed up,” Redknapp wrote in his column for the Daily Mail.
“I love watching Sanchez — he put on a masterclass against West Ham on Saturday.
“He has so much skill and flair but what I really admire is his desire to run and chase lost causes.
“You know that Sanchez will leave every ounce of sweat on the pitch.
