It may be time to prepare for the mother of all Arsenal meltdowns.

While Arsenal supporters have never been known for reacting to Gunners news in a calm, composed and rational fashion, the prospect of Alexis Sanchez leaving the club has already got many Gooners frothing with rage.

It was bad enough when the Chilean superstar was set to leave north London and move to a European giant like Bayern Munich or PSG.

However, the fact that Manchester City - Arsenal's direct Premier League rivals - are now about to sign the Gunners' best player is set to have Gooners howling at the moon in despair.

After a lengthy, drawn out saga, it seems Arsenal have FINALLY decided to accept an offer of around £60million for Sanchez and allow him to reunite with Pep Guardiola at the Etihad.

So what will this mean? Well…

1. Wenger Out protests will go into overdrive

Forget messages on planes flying above Premier League stadiums - if Arsenal lose their best player to a Premier League rival, you can expect to see angry Gooner rants plastered all over planes, trains and automobiles across North London.

2. Alexandre Lacazette would very quickly learn about the unique nature of life at Arsenal FC

"Hang on - we are letting Sanchez leave? And he's going to join one of our direct competitors? But I thought my new club was one of the biggest teams in this country? They spent £52million on me! The boss told me that we were going to be challenging for the title! If we let Sanchez go, then how do we…"

"Alex, Alex, Alex. This is Arsenal. This is just how we do things here."

"But I don't…"

"Seriously, mate. Don't question it. It's easier if you just accept it. You'll get used to it eventually."

3. Troopz from Arsenal Fan TV would set a new world record for uses of 'blud' and 'fam' in one minute of YouTube footage

Should Sanchez move to City, can you even begin to imagine the hammed-up, over the top rants Arsenal Fan TV's 'stars' will be queueing up to film?

Troopz, the channel's angriest man (which is quite an achievement), would be apoplectic.

"I'm telling you fam, I've had it blud. Wenger blud, what are you doing fam? Seriously fam! What's happening blud? I can't - blud - stand - fam - it - blud…"

4. Pep Guardiola might start to get a little excited about the attacking talent at his disposal

Away from the Arsenal outrage, the Manchester City boss would no doubt be delighted to be reunited with his former Barcelona star…

…and would then be hit by the realisation that he now has to find a way of fitting Kevin de Bruyne, Leroy Sane, David Silva, Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, Sergio Aguero AND Alexis Sanchez into his team.

5. Spurs supporters would be too busy laughing to feel any anxiety

You might expect Tottenham fans to be concerned at seeing one of the likely Premier League contenders strengthening still further.

However, if Sanchez swaps Arsenal for City, something tells us they might be too busy trolling the Gunners to worry about the other implications.

6. Claudio Bravo would suddenly be a little conflicted

If you're a goalkeeper at a big club, when your manager spends £35million on a new keeper, it's probably time to pack your bags.

So, after Pep Guardiola laid out a record fee on Benfica's Ederson, current City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was no doubt considering his options.

The potential arrival of his Chilean pal might suddenly make the Etihad bench look far more appealing.

7. Mesut Ozil might have a few questions

"So, you're going?"

"Yep."

"And that means I'm going to be left trying to make the best of things with Theo and Olivier?"

"Yep."

"Right… where's my phone?"
