Arsenal duo Alexis and Ozil will not be sold in January - Wenger

-
Arsenal manager Arsene wenger has reiterated to Manchester United and Manchester City that star players Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil will not leave the club in January.

The duo, whose contracts expire at the end of the season, are being strongly linked with moves away from the Emirates Stadium.

When asked whether Alexis and Ozil would remain at Arsenal beyond the January window, Wenger replied: “Yes, of course.

"No doubt. I don't think every day about that at the moment. As long as they are here, they give their best for the club.

“As far as I'm concerned, they'll stay until the end of the season unless something unbelievable happens.

"In press conferences, you confront me with speculation, but for me they stay until the end of the season - that's what we decided at the start of the season.”
Arsenal run the risk of losing Alexis and Ozil for nothing at the end of the 2017-18 season as negotiations over contract extensions at the club continue to stall.

When asked about whether Arsenal could still tie down the pair to fresh terms, Wenger added: "Will they stay longer? That's impossible to say right now, but they have a contract until the end of the season."If it's up to me then, yes, they stay next season. But there's more to it than that. They have to decide that."

Remy Ma is savage. Anyone who wants to fight her had better be ready. The rapper has exposed old text messages her colleague and rival Azaelia Banks sent to a friend. In the messages, Azealia talked about getting labioplasty to make her vagina look presentable because, according to her, hers looks tough and rough. In the message, Azealia also dissed Nicki Minaj and said everyone stopped taking her serious when she slept with Meek Mill. She said Nicki will have to get the scent of that dirty Philly dick (Meek Mill) off her before anyone will take her seriously. Remy Ma followed the screenshots with a very savage caption and she made sure to tag Azealia in the post. She said: “When I came home it was nothing. It was tumbleweeds blowing through as far as female artists is concerned." Remy Ma felt slighted by this and called Remy Ma out. She also told Remy that Nicki Minaj was better than her.
