Sanchez is out of contract at the end of 2017-18 and has been linked with French giants Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League rivals Manchester City, but Arsenal insist the 28-year-old will not be sold. Arsenal 9/1 to win Premier League The former Barcelona forward sat out Arsenal’s season-opening 4-3 win over Leicester City on Friday due to an abdominal strain. Asked about Sanchez and whether he could provide an update on the situation, Wenger said: “No....

Wenger made the comments in his role as a TV pundit for BeIN Sports ahead of the 2016 Euros, in which Kante will take part as a member of the French national side. The Arsenal manager was incredibly complimentary about the defensive midfielder, which will set tongues wagging for sure, saying “I admire and like N’Golo Kante a lot - it gives you ideas.” Also Read: 5 things that can make Arsenal title contenders...

The Frenchman has endured a testing 2016-17 campaign, with an inability to right recent wrongs in Premier League and Champions League leading to increased calls for him to step aside. He is, however, still going strong some 20 years after his arrival in north London and has made it clear throughout the protests and probing questions that he will not back down without a fight.

In this lineup, we had a couple of notable “spend down” spots. We grabbed a WR worth just over $4K and spent just $2,500 on a D/ST so we could uafford the top QB-WR stack on the board. Aside from that, our money was spent relatively evenly, and only one player cost more than $7K. That said, he was the highest-priced WR on the slate at $9K, so that is why were had to spend down a bit....

If you’re new to this article, we pick four players every week we’ll be overweight in our lineup builds. Then, we give an example of how we’d fill in around them in tournaments. Our “Core Four” this week is Ryan Tannehill, Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams and Mike Williams.

For Week 8, we really like Mitchell Trubisky in a favorable matchup against the Jets. Trubisky didn’t throw the ball particularly well last week, but he still notched 35.4 fantasy points, largely thanks to the 81 yards and TD he had on the ground. Plus, the Jets have a banged-up secondary and were just shredded by the Vikings. Elsewhere, Baker Mayfield (@ Steelers) and Case Keenum (@ Chiefs) both play poor passing defenses, so they could be good options this week....

“Now a military tribunal is convicting a pretzel,” joked American comedian David Letterman. Unable to believe the official line, The Independent of London asked whether Bush got his bruise in a “family tiff.” Madame Tussaud’s in London even touched up Bush’s wax replica, adding a bruise and putting some appropriate snacks in his hands. One Mexican cartoon depicted a giggling Osama bin Laden surrounded by boxes of pretzels; German journalists speculated that Bush, a born-again tee- totaler, may once again have taken up the devil’s drink....

Pearce, 55, has reportedly been shopped around to various A-League clubs with Newcastle and Wellington having started their recruitment process for the 2017-18 season, while Adelaide are expected to replaced Guillermo Amor when the Reds’ AFC Champions League commitments end. The Adelaide Advertiser reported the Phoenix had made an offer to Pearce, who was England’s temporary boss for one match in 2012 after Fabio Capello resigned. Merrick quits as Wellington Phoenix coach...

The Chile international was left on the bench on Saturday, having pushed for a move to Manchester City in the final days of the transfer window. Sanchez was introduced in place of two-goal Danny Welbeck for the final 15 minutes against Eddie Howe’s struggling side and was loudly jeered by some supporters. Wenger does not believe the ill feeling will last, however, claiming he does not know the reasons behind the reaction and expects Sanchez to get the fans back on side....

The Arsenal striker returned to action in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Stoke City, having been sidelined since February following knee surgery, and marked his return by scoring a late penalty. The France international is poised to make his first appearance of the season in the Europa League against CSKA Moscow on Thursday, with record signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ineligible. And Wenger believes Gunners fans will see the best of Lacazette in the coming games, now the former Lyon star is free of his knee troubles....

Mesut Ozil had fired the visitors into a 24th-minute lead before Sanchez produced three sublime second-half finishes to secure his second treble for the club. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain chipped in with Arsenal’s fourth, while Andy Carroll marked his return from injury by heading home for the hosts in a game which saw five goals inside the final 18 minutes. The hat-trick took Sanchez’s Premier League tally for the season to 11 and Wenger was understandably thrilled by the 27-year-old’s performance....
