Alexis Sanchez now has less than a year left on his contract and it looks increasingly likely that he won’t sign a new contract at The Emirates.
For a while now, fans have been calling on the Arsenal board to try as much as possible to resolve the situation and offer him a contract that he won’t be able to refuse. The fans are becoming more and more desperate to keep the £58.5m rated attacker at the Emirates longer than the rest of the season.
With Arsenal looking unlikely to convince Sanchez to sign a new contract, one of the hottest football talents in the world will unbelievably be available for free come next summer.
He has had little impact so far this season through injury and international duty with Chile but his ability is never been in doubt. He proved this on Sunday when he set up Mesut Ozil’s goal and scored the fifth himself in our 5-2 thrashing of Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.
The Arsenal official Twitter account tweeted a picture of Sanchez and Lacazette with Sanchez stating how he enjoys playing with our record signing. This has bought about fresh speculation that the Chilean could still sign a new deal before January.
