Manchester City are watching on with intent as Alexis Sanchez’s contract discussions with Arsenal continue, with The Express claiming that Pep Guardiola’s men want to ensnare the Chilean star in January.
The former Barcelona attacker is one of the most-feared offensive players in world football and has been a revelation since swapping Camp Nou for the Emirates Stadium in 2014.
Sanchez is a driving force behind the Arsenal attack and will be an essential member of Arsene Wenger’s side if the club are to compete for major silverware this season.
The South American is said to be in negotiations with the North London side over a new and improved deal at the Premier League side, with his current contract expiring in the summer of 2018.
City have been revolutionised since Guardiola’s arrival and top the Premier League table, with the latest report suggesting that the Manchester club want to raid the Gunners for their prize asset.
