Arsenal ready to let Alexis Sanchez leave for Manchester City this month if they can agree deal for Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez

Arsene Wenger is prepared to allow wantaway forward Alexis Sanchez to leave for Manchester City in January... providing the club can bring in Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez as a replacement.

City have lined up a £35m swoop for Sanchez in this window following their recent injury crisis but Arsene Wenger wants a proven high-profile signing before sanctioning the move, according to The Mirror.

Sanchez, whose contract expires in the summer, had been set to leave at the end of the season but Gabriel Jesus' knee injury has seen Pep Guardiola attempt to seal the deal earlier with Sergio Aguero his only remaining fit striker.
