Arsenal News: The Gunners looked really good in the previous campaign. They have caught the attention of a lot of top clubs and top players. Many of these stars want to play for Mikel Arteta and this Arsenal team. It is now what it used to be at the club. And this has attracted a former player as well.
Alexis Sanchez was surely one of the best players of the Emirates era, so far at least. And the Chile international did not leave the club on great terms. Though he may have had some success with the national team and elsewhere post his exit, it seems that the player wants to end his career with the North London giants. (La Tercera)
This is the reason why he got in touch with Mikel Arteta recently. It seems that he is keen on making a comeback. The player whose winning mentality was questioned at times, wants to play for this team. And it is still not certain whether the club is taking this request seriously or not!?
Arsenal News: Is A Return For Alexis Sanchez Actually Going To Happen!?
Though these claims are being heard on a regular basis, there are still no serious talks. The player is current with Ligue 1 outfit Marseille. And his contract expires this summer. He is 34 at present and feels he can add something more to this squad.
Well, ideally, this age and fitness is a problem. However, if the club is indeed losing Granit Xhaka, then Sanchez is the right player to go for. He will push this entire team over the line for sure. And make them work harder than ever!! That is something that he is known for.
The mentality Mikel Arteta keeps talking about was always something that Sanchez had. It was one of the reasons why he wasn’t liked that much in the dressing room. And if he does come back and can instill some winning mentality amongst the players, then so be it!!
But What Is The One Major Factor That Could Hinge The Deal!?
Since Alexis Sanchez will be a free-agent, his wages could be a problem. If he does want to return to Arsenal, he needs to come on OUR terms. The club should negotiate a stern PERFORMANCE-BASED contract with limited bonuses. This will be his chance to earn solace with the fans that he let down once.
If he can agree to these terms, then surely he deserves a return. He was one of the best attacking players of the Emirates era. And surely, he can give us more, even at the age of 34. It could be a mixed-bag for sure.
Well, Sanchez shouldn’t be a focus of too much attention in the current transfer window. Arsenal has a lot of top targets to focus on. And Declan Rice and co. are still the priorities. However, since the Arsenal news always brings us new things, we wanted to cover this too.
Whether you want Alexis Sanchez at the Emirates or not, is up to you!! Would you take him back!?
