Whatever seems to be the case here, one thing is for certain is that a lot is happening behind the scenes and Wenger’s red hot phone is really being put to tests by a number of anxious buyers or sellers.

Well if he does indeed move it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world will it. A disinterested almost free agent player leaving for 60m will less than a year on his contract and us getting a replacement in the form of Thomas Lemar to make up for it.

Alexis Sanchez is huge but he’s not bigger than the club. Only messed up thing coming out of this is him moving to our direct title rivals.

Situation will definitely become clearer in the next couple of hours.
