Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez is staying at Arsenal

Arsene Wenger has insisted that Alexis Sanchez will stay at Arsenal and honour the final year of his contract despite speculation linking him with a move elsewhere.
Sanchez was absent through illness as Arsenal thrashed Benfica 5-2 in the Emirates Cup on Saturday and has been tipped to leave the club this summer.

However, speaking after his side's impressive victory over the Portuguese champions, Wenger was adamant the Chile international would be going nowhere.

"There is no development it is always the same. He's staying," Wenger said.

"He has the flu I had a text from him yesterday and he will come back as soon as possible. We were in touch with him and his doctor and he should come back on Tuesday.

"Players who have one year on their contract have to respect their contract and play out their contract."
