Harry Redknapp: This is what Arsenal must do to keep Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez Arsenal stars enjoy Christmas party at La Soiree

HARRY REDKNAPP believes Arsenal must break the bank to keep Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez at the club.

Ozil and Sanchez have been in fine form for Arsenal this season, and already have 23 goals and 13 assists between them

The pair have 18 months left to run on their current contracts and are in negotiations over new deals, but they are both reportedly demanding huge pay rises. 

Arsene Wenger has insisted he will not sell either player, meaning they could leave for free if new deals are not agreed.

And Redknapp insists the Gunners must splash the cash to keep both Ozil and Sanchez at the club.

“Sanchez scored again at Everton and his contract situation along with Mesut Ozil’s is becoming a saga," Redknapp told the London Evening Standard.

“Arsenal are going to have to pay top dollar to keep them because there isn’t much loyalty in the game anymore.

Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez have been in fine form for Arsenal this season

“They won’t sign for £100,000 a week less than they could earn somewhere else and although what they are demanding is bonkers to the man in the street, it is the going market rate: they want to be paid the same as the best in England because they are among the best in England.

“There are a lot of players out there earning over £200,000 a week who aren’t as good as them, that’s for sure.

“If I was in Arsene Wenger’s position, I’d push for the club to pay the highest salary in the Premier League.

"The fans pay the highest prices, they don’t have the debt they used to and the cost of replacing those two players in their prime like that would be massive.”
