Arsene Wenger: 'Bacary Sagna deal still not close'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reveals that Bacary Sagna is "not close" to signing a new contract at the club.

Arsene Wenger has revealed that Bacary Sagna is still not close to securing a contract extension with Arsenal.

The French defender's current deal expires in the summer and he has been repeatedly linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season.

Arsenal are believed to have been locked in negotiations with Sagna for a number of months but any potential agreement has been scuppered by the 31-year-old's wage demands.

"No, he is not close to signing," Wenger told reporters.

"It is an ongoing process."

Sagna joined the Gunners from Auxerre in 2007.
