It is an all too familiar pattern. Hardly fails to disappoint. A top dog nears the end of a contract deal.

A rival club offers a way out. Arsenal offer theirs whichis always less than what outsiders bring to the bidding table.This is a recurring tale of “not again” for many Arsenal fans. Having repeatedly gone through the pain of watching valuable players take the exit door at the Emirates, the latest contract tussle between Sanchez and the club’s hierarchy is a most unwelcomed niggle by Arsenal faithful.

Tuesday’s slip-up at Goodison Park does not appear to be the only thing that can potentially disrupt Arsenal’s relatively quiet and progressive campaign. Alexis Sanchez transfer scuffle appears to be a pang that has been promised to Arsenal fans throughout this festive period. Needless to say that this is absolutely one if they will not want to cause them headache

The 27-year-old club beacon was last week reported to have received a bid of £400, 000 per week from an unnamed Chinese Super League club and apparently it seems the Chilean’s agent is using that offer to box Arsenal into a corner and squeeze out the best of deals they can for their client.

They are reported to be demanding a £250,000 per-week as against Arsenal’s £180,000, a fair enough upgrade from the current £130,000. Wenger’s eagerness to see that Sanchez and Mesut Ozil remain with the club has also boosted the Copa America winner’s hope of landing his heart desire’s bumper deal. If rumours are anything to go by, the German’s commitment looks to have been secured leaving that of Sanchez still lying in question marks. Read More

WENGER: OZIL BACK IN TRAINING, OX NOT BACK, WELBECK RECOVERING

index

Embattled Arsenal head coach, Arsene Wenger, has made comments regarding his team’s selection ahead of their final Premier League game against already relegated Aston Villa on Sunday.


He said other players should be fine as they make their last push for the season even though they have qualified for the UEFA Champions League for next season.

On Welbeck, the Frenchman said:

“We are all devastated and very sad. When I say I’m very sad, the whole team is thinking like that.

“It is surprising news. I expected him to at worse miss the Euros, and that is already bad. To be out for such a long time, he had just come back after a year out. You imagine being a 25-year-old professional and you get news like that… “

“We will have to support to him to cope with it,” the coach added.

When asked on the impact of Welbeck’s injury to England’s Euro campaign, he said:

“He was in the qualifiers as a player.

“He had a good understanding with the rest of the squad and he was versatile because he could play on the flank, through the middle and I believe it is a big loss for England as well.” Read More

Three injured Arsenal first team players that consist of creative midfielder Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere and goal keeper, Petr Cech are set to return to boost The Gunners strength as they make the last push this season. The injuries came at a very important period for the team, adding to the woes of Arsene Wenger.

The English Premier League has also slipped out of their reach with first-placed Leicester City leading Arsenal with 11 points.

He also was in goal when they Arsenal had a face-off with West Brom in the premier league. In the game against Barcelona, Everton, Tottenham and Watford, David Ospina tool charge of the goal post.

Cazorla has been on the sidelines due to an Achilles tendon injury while Jack Wilsere suffered from a calf and shin injury that has left him out of Arsenal season-long. Read More
