John Hartson has told Arsenal they are running the risk of losing stars Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil to rivals if they don’t resolve their contract situation soon.

The Gunners pair, who both have 18 months remaining on their current deals, are reportedly asking for a pay rise to match the wages of the likes of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the Premier League’s highest earners.

Manager Arsene Wenger recently revealed that the club are currently in negotiations with the players, but it is claimed Arsenal have so far refused to bow to their demands.
