Arsenal players have apparently had enough of the drama and would like to see Alexis Sanchez sold from the club already.
As the Thursday transfer deadline rapidly approaches, undoubtedly one of the storylines everyone is keeping an eye on involves the drama surrounding Arsenal and star striker Alexis Sanchez. This is a situation that has been on fire for quite some time now, and ultimately, it’s led everyone to believe that Sanchez will be sold at some point. Although, Arsenal has not been too successful in that mission to this point, making things a little more difficult.
There is definitely a large portion of the Gunners fanbase that would like to see Sanchez just leave Emirates Stadium already, but apparently, there are some a little closer to Sanchez who would just like to see this dramatic storyline come to a close already, ending with the sale of Sanchez to another club.
According to Matt Law of The Telegraph, players from the Arsenal squad basically are fed up with all of this and just want Sanchez off the squad already so their full concentration can be directed toward the rest of the season.
"There is a strong feeling that the constant speculation surrounding Sanchez is having a detrimental effect on the squad as a whole and that it will only get worse the longer he stays without signing a new contract."
Really, you can’t blame them. Sanchez has been playing the “me-first” for far too long already, and it’s clear that he doesn’t want to be there. With Arsenal not finishing in the top four last season for the first time in a while, the other players on the team want all hands on deck as they try to get back near the top of the standings.
With the Thursday transfer window rapidly approaching, though, time is running out. And to make matters worse, also on Tuesday, it was reported that Arsenal rejected a $65 million bid for Sanchez’s services.
The latest report that most of his teammates are fed up with his attitude will only make the next couple of days very interesting.
