Alexis Sanchez hast just six months remaining on his Arsenal contract and has been linked with a move to Manchester City.

The Premier League leaders came in for the Chile international in the summer and have since been linked with a £30million January swoop for the 29-year-old.

However, Arsene Wenger has insisted there has been no interest in Sanchez and he fully expects him to remain at the Emirates until the end of the season.

When asked if the Gunners had received a bid, he replied: “No and I expect nothing.

“I am focused on tomorrow’s game. When solicitations happen you respond to it. At the moment it’s very quiet.

“I have nothing to add.

“What is the most important thing is to be professional and to perform no matter what the environment is.

“It’s not a big influence on the performance of our team.”

Arsenal take on Chelsea in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup tomorrow night (8pm) and Wenger admitted he has not yet decided if Sanchez will play.

“I have not decided yet. I will decide today or tomorrow morning,” he said.

However, he was adamant his side must show a response in the match following their humiliating 4-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

“We take the criticism on board and we want to respond in a positive way,” he added.

“We’re in the last four and we won the FA Cup three times in the last four years.

“You have to expect it will not happen every year, but we did not produce the performance we expect.

“It’s the first time it’s happened in 21 years [going out in the third round]. I am very disappointed by some individual performances.”

“I would love to win it [Carabao Cup] because we are now in the semi-final.

“If there’s an opportunity we will try to take it.

“There’s still a long way to go. It’s similar to what we saw last year in the FA Cup.”
