Alexis Sanchez has been filmed in Arsenal gear for the new Premier League season.

The Chile international pulled on the new Gunners away kit and posed for the Premier League's cameras for a broadcast package to be aired ahead of games during the 2017/18 season.

Images from Arsenal's official Snapchat account show Sanchez taking part in the now traditional season preparation.

Sanchez returned to Arsenal's London Colney base for the first time on Tuesday after an extended break and immediately undertook one-on-one training drills.

His current Arsenal contract has less than 12 months left to run and Sanchez is yet to respond to the club's offer of a new £300,000-a-week contract.

Arsene Wenger has said on a number of occasions that Sanchez will be staying this season, amid ongoing speculation of suitors home and abroad, though Arsenal then risk losing him for free next summer.

Arsenal will assess Sanchez's fitness before deciding whether to throw him in for the Community Shield match against Chelsea on Sunday.

The club are hopeful he will be fully available for the Premier League opener against Leicester the following Friday.
