Sol Campbell: Arsenal must sign this star

Arsenal legend and former Invincible, Sol Campbell has insisted that Sanchez’s drawn out contract talks are part and parcel of contract negotiations, he told in an Interview with the Metro. 

With only 18 months left on his current deal, Alexis Sanchez has been linked with a move to multiple clubs, including Manchester City, Chelsea and Juventus. Campbell, however, has urged the club to sign Sanchez up to a new deal. 

“Hopefully he will, there’s a couple of contracts out there that need sorting out at the moment”

“There is always negotiations. A big contract like this one is always dragged on, no big contract is ‘Sign. Done. Finish’ – unless you’re in China! People want you to fight for the contract and get a compromise and that takes time because both sides think they have the best deal.”

“There is always a compromise or sometimes somebody has to give in and give a contract that maybe they don’t want right now but maybe in a year’s time it might feel cheap. It might feel expensive too but that’s the chance you have to take when negotiating.”
