Wenger not worried Sanchez's contract hasn't been renewed
Alexis Sanchez's future at Arsenal is yet to be decided with speculation growing that he could leave the Emirates in the summer for a Premier League rival.
The Chile international's potential departure would be a huge blow for Arsenal's title hopes next season.
Since moving to a central striking role at the start of the season, Sanchez has established himself as Arsenal's most potent attacking force with 22 goals and 18 assists in all competitions.

Alexis Sanchez said he's at his happiest when playing football
The 28-year-old has remained injury-free this campaign but he missed a large chunk of the winter period last year due to a hamstring injury.
And Sanchez admits he's not pleasant to be around when he's unable to take to the field.
"As long as I’m playing football I’m happy - wherever that may be," Sanchez told Arsenal Player.
"When I moved to Italy, I was the happiest man in the world, like a child. Playing football is what makes me happy.
"I wasn’t interested in money or anything else. All I wanted to do was play football so I could be happy.
"I’m someone who adapts very quickly. What’s been the most difficult for me in my career are the times when I’ve had injuries.

"When I’m injured, I’m really down. I can’t stand not being able to kick a ball, not going to the gym.
"Above all it’s not kicking a ball that I miss as that’s what makes me happy. I also miss seeing my teammates in training.
"For me, injury has been the hardest thing to cope with. As a result, I take more care of myself, I’m more professional and that helps me to minimise the chances of further injuries."
