“They are the guys who can make the difference for us at any moment”.
The 26-year-old has played 12 times in the league, scoring six goals – the highest tally in the squad.
“If someday a team wants me then come speak with Celta and pay what you have to pay”. We are one of the best teams in Europe and we can outplay any opponent we will face.
It is understood the club are hopeful of getting them both signed up and they aim to make a joint announcement, which would be a massive lift for their title push. The ex-Real Madrid player is having his best season in England since he arrived in north London three years ago during the summer transfer window.
The Germany playmaker has already notched up 10 assists in the Premier League for the Gunners in his 11 appearances in the top flight this term.
He said: “We’ve really taken off in the league and we’re in a very good position”.
“The only disappointing thing is the injuries”. We’ve lost four players to muscle injuries recently, but we need to find solutions to keep the run going. “But we need to be solid defensively and efficient offensively to win 1-0 when we’re not at our best”.
Nolito has declared he won’t sign a new contract until “a detail” has been ironed out.
The Daily Mirror claim Sanchez will pen a five-year extension and his wages will rise from £130,000-a-week to £150,000-a-week.

Arsenal’s No. 17 has been something of a creative force too, manufacturing 20 chances; a total bettered by only Santi Cazorla (34) and Mesut Ozil (54) in the Gunners ranks.
