“It takes two to dance” – Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke reveals talks still ongoing with star duo
Arsenal FC owner Stan Kronke has insisted that he wants to keep both Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez at the club.
Both Ozil and Sanchez could be on their way out of the north London-based club for free next summer. The duo have failed to pen a new deal with the Gunners and their contracts expire in under nine months.
Arsenal rejected the chance to sell Sanchez to Manchester City for £60 million on transfer deadline day.
Ozil meanwhile has been linked with a move to Man United over recent weeks.
However, Stan Kroenke has told the Daily Telegraph that he wants to keep the duo at Arsenal.

“I watched them on Sunday and they looked really good and played really, really, really well,” Kroenke stated.
“We’d love to keep them. It takes two to dance; we’ll keep working to keep our top talent and to attract more talent but some of the guys we’ve got are looking pretty good.”
