Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has encouraged club chiefs to 'sort out' uncertainty regarding Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez's future for the good of the team.

The star duo may have helped Arsenal to a convincing 2-0 win over north London rivals Tottenham on Saturday, but they are still yet to sign new contracts with the club.

Both will be allowed to leave on a free transfer next summer if they refuse to put pen to paper on fresh terms, something Seaman believes is having a negative effect on the team. He said, speaking on behalf of 'TAG Heuer': 'Wenger signed [a new] deal.

'That's it, let's talk about [his future] after two years. That's been settled [now] Ozil and Sanchez need to be settled. It's not good for the team, not good for the squad.

'The Wenger situation had a little bit of an effect, now we've got the Ozil and Sanchez thing. It would be nice to get that all sorted and kick on from there.'
