Arsenal players tired of Alexis Sanchez, want him gone before Palace clash

Arsenal players are reportedly keen for Alexis Sanchez to be sold before this weekend’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace.

The Chile international’s transfer saga is believed to have caused disruption within Arsene Wenger’s squad.

Widespread reports have claimed that Sanchez is closing in on a move to Manchester United, with Sky Sports News recently stating that the two clubs are open to a straight swap involving the attacker and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

According to the London Evening Standard, the rest of the Arsenal squad are tired of the ongoing situation and would rather Sanchez be gone by the time the team host Crystal Palace at the Emirates on Saturday.

The former Barcelona star was left out of the squad that suffered a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth at the weekend.
