Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits that he is "not super optimistic" about Alexis Sanchez's contract situation.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is uncertain whether the club can convince Alexis Sanchez to sign a new contract.

The Frenchman reaffirmed his commitment to keeping the striker, who is in the final year of his current deal, but has doubts regarding his long-term future.

Wenger told SFR Sport that he has a "firm intention" to retain Sanchez's services but added that he is "not super optimistic" about a contract renewal.

Arsenal have offered the Chilean a new deal worth £300,000 a week, but the forward is yet to confirm whether he intends to remain at the Emirates indefinitely.

Wenger is said to be willing to risk losing Sanchez on a free transfer next summer, rather than sell him to a rival team for his estimated value of £50m.

The striker is expected to be sidelined for up to two weeks with a muscular injury and will miss the start of the new Premier League season.
