Alexis Sanchez has handed in a transfer request at Arsenal,
in a bid to force a move away this summer.
With about four days left in the transfer market, the Chile
international is desperate to engineer his exit from the Emirates.
According to Shehab Khan of the Independent, Sanchez has
officially told the club’s hierarchy to allow him leave.
Khan tweeted: “BREAKING – #Alexis #Sanchez has reportedly
handed in a transfer request at #Arsenal.”
Sanchez made his first appearance for Arsene Wenger’s team
on Sunday, as they were defeated 4-0 by Liverpool at Anfield.
He was replaced in the second half by record signing
Alexandre Lacazette.
The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with Manchester City
all summer.
