Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger’s future rests on this: Gunners chiefs aware of fan uproar
ARSENE WENGER’S future at Arsenal reportedly relies on Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil both committing long-term.

The star duo have been at the centre of a contract saga all season at the Emirates.
And while the German playmaker is edging towards an extension, his Chilean attacking team-mate is not so set.
Wage demands and assurances on challenges for major trophies have delayed Ozil and Sanchez penning new contracts in north London.
Fans are pleading with their key men to stay, and Arsene Wenger must do all he can to ensure they do.

Club chiefs are said to be aware that supporters would be in uproar should either Ozil or Sanchez go
Otherwise, according to the Mirror, another extension for the French manager will be considered a much harder sell at Arsenal.
Club chiefs are said to be aware that supporters would be in uproar should either Ozil or Sanchez go.
The Gunners’ dream is to have all three agree terms and remain at the club, meaning there is plenty riding on the contract negotiations.

Alexis Sanchez highlighted his importance to Arsenal again at Everton by scoring from a free-kick
Small groups of Arsenal fans have called for the club to move on from Wenger for some time, and with his current deal expiring in the summer, an extension must be justified and warranted.
Defeat at Everton has put a dent in their Premier League title hopes, although the Gunners remain third, six points off leaders Chelsea.
Although drawing Bayern Munich again in the Champions League at the last 16 stage has not helped matters.
Arsenal may struggle to land a major honour again this term as a result, and Wenger’s position therefore falls hand-in-hand with Ozil and Sanchez’s futures.
