Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright reportedly has no qualms about reports of Alexis Sanchez wanting to leave the club at the end of the Season.
Ian Wright:
“It’s not looking good for Arsenal and him. I believe his agent is probably on the phone to people now. It’s a shame simply because he is Arsenal’s best player. He is a player that Arsenal need desperately to be there. I’m not sure if money is going to keep him there at the moment because if he’s storming out of training and not playing in games – it doesn’t seem to be a problem for him when he does come on because he still performs to the best of his ability. If I was him, I’d probably want to leave as well because what’s happening with Arsenal right now is not what he came to Arsenal for, especially not being in the top four. Everything points towards that he’s unsettled, he’s unhappy and it seems to me like he wants to go.”
Alexis was left out of the starting line-up at Anfield on Saturday due to an incident that happened during training.
In the incident, Sanchez left training mid-session and was confronted by team-mates on their return to the changing room, with one of them having to be held back as tempers flared.
Alexis came on in the second half and provided the assist for Danny Welbeck’s lone Arsenal in the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool.
Meanwhile Arsenal Coach, Arsene Wenger refutes reports of a training ground dispute involving Alexis and his team-mates claiming that they are false.
“I’m not aware, nothing happened,” said Wenger.
When prodded about his relaltionship with the Chilean, the Frenchman said,
“Honest and normal like with every single player.”
Sanchez has been directly involved in 26 goals in his 26 league games this season, scoring 17 and assisting nine.
Arsenal face Bayern Munich in London on Tuesday in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. They lost the first 5-1 in Munich.
