Arsenal news: Shkodran Mustafi makes surprise Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil admission
ARSENAL defender Shkodran Mustafi made a surprise admission when asked about the futures of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
The pair are out of contract at the end of the season and Arsenal look highly likely to cash in on the duo this month.
However, while they remain at the club boss Arsene Wenger is utilising them at every opportunity.
Ozil and Sanchez both started in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea last night and drew praise from Mustafi.
However, when it comes to whether the two will still be at the club come February, the centre-back revealed he “does not care.”

Sanchez looks likely to sign for Manchester City, who had a £60million bid rejected in the summer.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all been linked with German playmaker Ozil.
