Arsenal are lucky to count on Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, says Nacho Monreal.
Their form has only heightened the pressure on the club to convince Ozil and Sanchez to sign new contracts as they enter the final 18 months of their current deals, though their £290,000-a-week demands are significantly more than Arsenal are prepared to offer.
“Both Alexis and Mesut have been around in football for a long time now," Monreal told the club website. “Everybody knows what they can do and I have to say, we are privileged to have them in the team.
"I think all of our rivals when they are preparing to face us, they really have to spend a bit more time preparing for those two.
“Mesut, for example, he's the player that threads the play together, and Alexis is a really complete footballer."
