The duo’s long-term commitment to the Gunners may be under serious questioning, but Germany international midfielder Mesut Ozil and Chilean Alexis Sanchez remain key to Arsenal’s ambitions this term – at least until New Year.

Both Superstars were involved in training on Saturday, as the Gunners are preparing for their English Premier League clash with Merseyside club Everton on Sunday.

The match comes at the end of a week in which the careers of both players at the Emirates, particularly Mesut Ozil, came under serious scrutiny.

The Arsenal contracts of both Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez expire at the end of the campaign, and neither have expressed any intent to extend their contracts in north London.

The Gunners may look to cash in on the two of their biggest names in January, rather than lose both stars for free next summer.

Mesut Ozil wants manager Jose Mourinho to rescue him from his Arsenal nightmares and is determined to join rivals Manchester United and linking up with his former Real Madrid boss.

Arsenal’s weekend opponents Everton have had a rough week after both were in UEFA Europa League action on Thursday night.

While a second-string Gunners side won a tricky tie away to Red Star Belgrade, the Merseysiders lost at home to Ligue 1 side Lyon in a game marred by a massive brawl, in which a fan carrying a child struck one of Lyon’s players.
