Wenger expects Sanchez to respect decision
Aug 3, 2017 - 2:36 PM Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez will respect his decision to keep him at Arsenal.Sanchez, who has been linked with a move away from the club this summer, took part in an open training session at Emirates Stadium on Thursday ahead of Sunday's Community Shield meeting with Chelsea.
The 28-year-old has only just returned to training having been handed an extended break following his involvement in the Confederations Cup with Chile.
Speculation over his future continues, with his current Arsenal contract expiring next summer.
Wenger has said on many occasions that Sanchez will not be sold this summer and that he would rather allow the former Barcelona man to leave for nothing when his deal runs out.
"I will not give anything away on (Sanchez) but the only thing I can tell you is that he is focused, and my decision is clear: he will stay and he will respect that. It is as simple as that," he said.
"Every negotiation has to be a little bit secret. The transparency of society is very pushy but we have to resist a little bit, as much as we can.
"We know as well we have a duty to inform people, but to talk about some things is not information any more - it is suicide.
"I think he will be here this season, and if we can do it for more seasons we will do it as well."
