Sanchez had a stunning season for Arsenal

In the off-season, you can always expect to hear transfer rumours. Alexis Sanchez has been linked with both Manchester City and Bayern Munich, whilst the Chile international has stated he just wants to focus on the Confederations Cup with Chile for the time being.

His 24-goal Premier League tally this past season is his best in an Arsenal shirt to date and Sanchez will be hoping he can guide Chile to their first ever Confederations Cup triumph – especially given their defence of the Copa America last summer.

Following the departure of Jorge Sampaoli, Juan Antonio Pizzi has switched from three-at-the-back to a four, playing a front three of Alexis, Esteban Paredes and Eduardo Vargas. Chile still have the fluidity that they always have done, whilst Arsenal’s star player is playing as well as ever in the international setup.
