Arsene Wenger making early movements to get star of World Cup to the Emirates

It seems Arsenal have stepped up their pursuit of signing a new attacking player with one of the stars of the World Cup already having talks with Gunners boss Arsène Wenger.

Alexis Sánchez has arguably been one of the best players in Brazil this summer and has inspired Chile to shock Spain and reach the knock-out phase of the World Cup.

Wenger making early move

The 25-year-old has been nothing short of sensational and he may be in an Arsenal shirt next season if reports are to go by.

The Daily Express report that Wenger has met with the Chilean’s representatives in Brazil to mull over a potential move to the Emirates.

Liverpool and Manchester United are both interesting in the Barcelona man but the Gunners gaffer has seized the initiative by arranging a meeting with the forward.

Wenger is commentating in Brazil for TV station TF1 and has used his time on South American shores to make an early move for the Chile star.

£25 million move but are Barcelona willing to sell?

The Daily Telegraph state a fee of £25 million could prize Sánchez away from the Camp Nou although they report that Barcelona are reluctant to allow the hitman to leave.

However, Express refute those claims by suggesting the Chilean doesn’t get on well with Argentine Lionel Messi and therefore the Catalan club are listening to offers.

Can Wenger pull this out of the bag?

Either way, it is a welcome surprise to find out Wenger is making an early move for a player and not waiting until the last minute like usual.

Whether or not Sánchez joins Arsenal is hard to predict but there is no doubt he would be an exceptional signing if he World Cup performances and displays for Barcelona are anything to go by.

Now can Wenger deliver a signing that would send a signal of intent to the rest of our Premier League title rivals, lets hope so!

Sanchez will be a big signing someone who is quick and runs in behind . Someone like him will get the best out of Ozil . Ozil needs runners so he can find . GIROUD can not be first choice next season . All we need is a right back , centre back , holding mid and a striker . I think even if carzola goes its time for chambo to start games on the left imajin a front four of chambo ozil walcott with sanchez infront if 9nly wenger saw it how I see it lol

I think even Wenger would have no worry in handing over 25 to 30 mil for Sanchez. I do have doubts about the supposed 44 for Vidal. Would absolutely cream my boxers if we could get these two chileans.

Wonga is doing the same thing all over again......lying to the fans, he is a master at this so why people get suppressed I don't know. He is a master at Bullsh1te and treats the fans like ***s, he won't be bringing in a world class striker. At best we will end up signing some squad rotational players and possibly Remy.

I think as usual we,l all get excited about star signings coming to the Emirates but as usual Arsene will cheapskate his way out of any deal and we,l end up with the bogofs and maybe,s,Arsene wont pay out for Sanchez cos he,s obsessed with buying cheap and selling them dear,, its all smoke n mirrors!!

Would be a marque signing if it can be done. Looking at balotelli in the world cup if things don't go right for him he will sulk. That is not the type of player you need when you are trying to win a title. Good choice second keeper. All that is needed now is a defender and holding midfielder.
