Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud star in launch of Arsenal's third kit

Arsene Wenger has insisted neither Alexis Sanchez nor Olivier Giroud will be leaving Arsenal this summer and the club's new kit launch seems to back that up.

Both forwards were used, alongside Theo Walcott, as the models for the unveiling of Arsenal's new third strip.
Sanchez has less than a year remaining on his current contract and is understood to prefer a move to Manchester City rather than extend.

When asked on Tuesday if Sanchez had asked to leave, though, Wenger replied: "No."
He added: “The players have contracts and we expect them to respect them - that’s what we want.
“That is a continuation of what I said at the end of last season, that you wouldn’t sell him to another Premier League club.

“I think the easiest way to manage in the final year - it is in his interests to do as well as he can.
“Nobody knows today if he will be in the final year next season because he can extend the contract with us at the start or during the season so it is not necessarily the last year of his contract at Arsenal Football Club.”

On Giroud, who has been linked with a move to Everton following the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette, Wenger said: “We extended his contract last year.

“Our resolution is clear. He’s been great value to the squad and I think he is a great lover of the club. He’s always been very determined to stay.
“It’s always the same problem - when you have one striker people ask ‘why don’t buy another?’ and when you have two or three they say they will be unhappy because there is too much competition. That’s part of the job.

“We are in a job where we are very lucky to do what we love but it is competitive job and that means the players have to accept competition and my decisions as well, unfortunately.''
