There were many times during the summer that it looked like Alexis Sánchez would be leaving the Emirates – and if it was not for Arsenal being unable to strike a deal for Monaco’s Thomas Lemar it is highly probable that the Chilean would be playing the majority of his football in Manchester right now.
Due to the north London club’s inability to sign the French winger, Sánchez stayed put and he has frequently looked fairly unhappy about his situation. Much has been made about Manchester City making another offer in January – and there has also been interest from Paris Saint-Germain and most recently Everton.
