‘They let Arsenal down’ – Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez should be sold says Gunners legend Martin Keown

Arsenal star duo Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez face an uncertain future at the club.

Ozil and Sanchez have just over 12 months remaining on their contracts but have yet to sign an extension.

Gunners legend Martin Keown feels that his former club should sell the star pair who have been ‘overindulged’.

Keown revealed that he feels Ozil and Sanchez have ‘let Arsenal down’ and that both players want to leave.

“If they have to say cheerio to those two players, then that is the right decision,” Keown told BBC Radio 5 live.

“They have been overindulged at times this season and they let Arsenal down in the period when they lost twice to Bayern Munich, conceding 10 goals. That is the level of the problem,” said Keown, who played more than 300 games for Arsenal.

“The manager needs to make some really tough decisions now. Sanchez’s contract needs to get 100% secured. Is that going to happen? Will Ozil leave?

“I am sure both players want to go elsewhere because they want to win the Champions League, win the Premier League and maybe they do not feel it can be done at Arsenal. The club is bigger than two individuals.”

The Chile international has reportedly been offered a new £300,000-a-week deal, while Turkish origin playmaker Ozil has reportedly refused to sign a £250,000-a-week contract.

Arsenal finished outside the top-four for the first time in 20 years despite Ozil and Sanchez having an impressive season.

The North London based outfit will compete in the Europa League next season.

Ozil scored eight goals and 10 assists in the league this season while Sanchez netted 24 times and setup 11 goals.

The star pair were directly involved in 53 of the Gunners 77 Premier League goals this season.
