Amid reported interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid, rumours coming out of the Emirates this morning suggest Alexis Sanchez is continuing to stall on a new contract.

Sanchez, along with attacking partner Mesut Ozil, has 18 months left on his Arsenal deal, and the Daily Star reckons the pair are citing Paul Pogba's £290,000 a week at Manchester United as the sort of wages they expect.

For his part, Ozil has said that his future in north London will depend on the future of manager Arsene Wenger.

"The club knows I am here most of all because of Arsene Wenger," Ozil told German magazine Kicker. "He is the one who signed me and he is the one whose trust I have. But the club also knows that I want to be clear what the manager is going to do in the future."

He also suggested that a sweetener in any new deal could be him taking the No.10 shirt vacated by Jack Wilshere.

According to The Mirror, Ozil said: "Since Wilshere’s departure last summer, the number is free, but I have yet to get it."

Ozil's adoption of the No. 10 shirt could be made easier if Wilshere's departure from the Emirates is made permanent.

That looks increasingly like a possibility with Manchester City joining Everton in a bid to sign the England midfielder, according to the Daily Star.

While Wenger signed non-league Cohen Bramall last week, it looks like his transfer dealings in the left-back position might not be over.

The Daily Telegraph reports the Frenchman is keeping close tabs on Valencia's Jose Gaya. If Wenger does sign another player in that position it would almost certainly see Kieran Gibbs make an exit.

Gedion Zelalem's transfer to Borussia Dortmund is very nearly a done deal, according to ESPN.

But Andre Belotti's move to Arsenal does not look any closer. Torino sporting director Gianluca Petrarchi claimed to have received and rejected a £56m bid for the 23-year-old over the weekend, but Arsenal have denied the suggestion.

Meanwhile, the player himself has quashed speculation, insisting he just wants to focus on his football.

"I have to continue like this, I cannot let it go to my head," Belotti told Tuttosport. "I have to work, and hope to play a good 2017 to conquer my dreams. The Premier League? I'm not thinking about it, I just think about doing well from Torino, then we will see."
