Sanchez, 28, has been linked with a move to PSG, who have just completed a world-record 222 million euros ($260 million) swoop for Barcelona superstar Neymar.

But Wenger said he had not heard from PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and referred to French media reports suggesting PSG are more interested in signing Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe.

«It’s a long time I didn’t speak to Nasser, because it’s certainly very busy to complete the transfer of Neymar,» Wenger told a press conference at Arsenal’s London Colney base.

Asked if he expected Al-Khelaifi to get in touch, Wenger replied: «No, no. I think if you read the French papers, they are on Mbappe’s case to finish their transfer market.»
