Due to his recent struggles at Barca, Sanchez could well become surplus to requirements this summer.

If he were to be shown the door this summer then it is unknown who, from the top European clubs, will be interested in his services. But Larini believes the pacey forward would flourish at The Emirates more than anywhere else.

Quoted in Italian sports website Tuttomercatoweb, Larini said:

‘I do not know his current situation at the Spanish club. But his fitness problems have definitely limited his performances.

He added:

‘Sanchez needs to play the ball on the ground, just like Arsenal. That would be his ideal game.’
