Sanchez struggling because of failed Man City move, says former Arsenal defender

Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez has struggled to find his best form this season because he wants to move away from the Emirates, claims former Gunners man Emmanuel Eboue.

Sanchez is in the last year of his contract at Arsenal and could walk away for free at the end of the season. The Chile international was very close to joining Premier League rivals Manchester City in the summer transfer window but his deadline day move collapsed at the last minute.

Arsenal had already lined up AS Monaco’s Thomas Lemar as a potential replacement but a deal could not be done in time which resulted in Sanchez staying in North London.
