After we reported in an earlier Just Arsenal post that while posting on social media to dispel any further Arsenal transfer rumours about his possible move to Premier League rivals Liverpool, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain appeared to suggest that Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez would be staying with the club, Metro reported that the Chilean himself had dropped the biggest hint yet that his future was with the Gunners.
Alexis said, ‘I definitely feel like an important player and my teammates let me know every day. I try to prove that I am an important player every day and game after game. I believe we have the players and the quality to win many things.
‘I feel really happy and comfortable at the club. I want to give the fans a new title. We always get our fans’ support in the thin and the thick, which is great. We must win the Premier League or the Champions League for them.’
Seeing as how it was Sanchez that was thought to be the most likely not to sign a new deal, this sounds like great news for Arsenal fans. Assuming that the two stars do sign new contracts, perhaps as early as this month, will that be enough action for Arsenal or do you still think that Arsene Wenger needs to use the January transfer window to add more quality and options to the current Arsenal squad?
