Allegri moves to clarify claims over Arsenal future

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, working as a pundit for BT Sport on Saturday, says he expects Sanchez’s agent will now be trying to get his client away from north London.

Arsene Wenger discusses his decision to bench Alexis Sanchez, as well as what Arsenal’s next step is for the season. While winning every trophy is not possible, challenging for them is possible and with Arsenal not able to offer Sanchez that, the Chilean looks set to leave the Gunners in the summer.

After conceding two first-half goals, Sanchez was called upon after the break but he cut a frustrated figure throughout and more light has since been shed on Wenger’s decision to drop the Chile global.

SunSport revealed earlier how Wenger and Sanchez’s relationship is at an all-time low.

His contract expires at the end of next season, but he is grown to become a disgruntled figure at the club, and Wenger may be fighting a losing battle to keep him.

But it was too late to stop the Gunners from slipping to their third Premier League defeat in four matches.

“I just watched a game where the best player in our squad has been left out”.

It remains to be seen whether or not the situation gets resolved, as there will be huge doubts in the minds of Arsenal fans this week over their chances of keeping Sanchez in particular. “You have to start your world-class players”.

Arsenal will have to produce the biggest second leg comeback in a Champions League knockout tie to avoid a seventh successive exit at the last 16 stage when they host Bayern Munich on Tuesday. “I have no regrets, except that we lost the game”. Here are five players who Arsenal could sign with Allegri at the helm.

“With Arsenal’s form at the moment I do worry for them”, he added.
