Arsenal boss Wenger takes aim at City's petrol money, says Ozil and Sanchez will stay until summer

Pep Guardiola's side set a new record for consecutive wins in the Premier League, chalking up their 15th against Swansea on Wednesday night.

It comes after club, which is owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabi's ruling Al-Nahyan family, spent £200million over the summer to bring in the likes of Bernardo Silva, Ederson, Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy and Danilo.

And Wenger, who also insisted that Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez will stay at the club until the summer with Jack Wilshere also due to have contract talks, believes the amount of money they spent gives them a huge advantage.

"Look, we had no petrol but ideas. They have petrol and ideas, so that makes it more efficient," he said.

"Everybody projects they will last. Everything goes for them inside the games. They have quality to turn it in their favour. They have plenty of resources and quality."

When asked again what he meant by 'petrol', he replied: "Yes, money and quality, that's what I wanted to say".

On the subject of Sanchez and Ozil, whose contracts expire in the summer, enabling them to leave for free, Wenger said: "I can tell you a global answer – yes. They will all stay.

"I will analyse every case individually and separately, but overall I would say my wish and my desire is that everybody stays."

Of Wilshere, who has featured 14 times this season after a string of injury problems in recent years, Wenger added: "I will talk to him.

"I said the end of December. I wanted to see how much he can contribute. I consider him an Arsenal man."
