​Sanchez admits Arsenal stay could depend on contract talks

Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez has put the onus on the Gunners to offer him a new deal which would encourage him to stay in London.

The Chilean international has 18 months left on his current contract at Arsenal but progress towards a new deal has been frustrating slow off the pitch.

"To be quite honest, right now I'm more focused on winning football matches," he told Sky Sports when asked about a new contract.

"I'm staying concentrated on that side of things.

"It doesn't really depend on me so much as it does the club, if they want to show confidence in me.

"I'm very happy here, I love it here, I love all the staff, the cooks, the employees that do so much for us.

"I'm very grateful to everybody, and as I say I'm very happy here. So it depends on Arsenal."
