ARSENAL are targeting Alexis Sanchez's weak spot - his dogs - in hopes he will sign a new contract and stay in north London.
The Chilean's pups Atom and Humber were on Arsenal's Christmas list this year, in a possible ploy to appease their owner.
The dogs can be seen on Alexis' Instagram story wearing their festive jumpers with the caption Gunners.
Gooner fans will be crossing their fingers that this could be a sign that the Chile forward wants to continue to ply his trade in the capital.
Arsenal are selling their Christmas jumpers this year with 20 per cent of the proceeds going to charity Save the Children UK.
While the majority of the festive garments were made for the players, the club released an extra two especially for their star striker's prized puppies.
The 28-year-old has been the subject of mass transfer speculation, since his contract runs out at the end of this season.
It seemed like a formality that Alexis would join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City last summer.
The Spaniard declared his strong will to sign the player who he worked with at Barcelona, however Arsenal stayed firm and clung on to their main man.
There have been signs suggesting the Chilean is unhappy at the north London club, and the rumours of his departure will likely resurface in the January transfer window.
Even though Alexis seems to love his dogs more than life itself, posting captions such as: "I can't promise I can be there for the rest of your life... but I will love you for the rest of mine..."
It may take Arsenal a tad more than doggy gear to convince the Copa America winner to stay.
