Thomas Lemar can replace Alexis Sanchez at Arsenal, former Gunners ace Charlie Nicholas reckons.

The Chile international could quit the Emirates this summer, with Monaco winger Lemar eyed as a replacement.

And Nicholas reckons selling Sanchez could land Arsenal Lemar and a world-class centre-back.

"I still anticipate Alexis Sanchez leaving this summer. Of course, I'd like to see him stay long-term but I would rather see it sorted," Nicholas told Sky Sports.

"They could sell £100m worth of players, sign Thomas Lemar and finally get a top-class centre-back and be in a stronger position."
