Lex and the City?

Arsene Wenger says Man City target Alexis Sanchez’s future is ‘not my problem’ despite him being free to talk to clubs from Monday

Arsenal boss defies belief by saying arguably the side's most important player is 'free to go where he wants'

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger astonishingly admits that Alexis Sanchez’s future is “not my problem”.

Sanchez, a Manchester City target, can talk to other clubs tomorrow.

Wenger said: “I don’t know what is going on in his head and whether he is with us short term or long term. I am not a psychologist.”

Rebel Sanchez, 29, is in the final year of his Gunners contract and the Chilean star has refused to sign a new deal.

The striker’s first choice is to reunite with his former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium.

Arsenal’s record scorer Thierry Henry claims Sanchez has sparked a dressing-room rift at the Emirates.

And some of his team-mates want him out of the club by the end of January.

Wenger was yesterday snapped having an animated training-ground conversation with Sanchez ahead of today’s clash at West Brom.

The Frenchman added: “From Monday he is free to go where he wants if it’s a foreign club — but that’s not my problem.

“My problem is just about trying to win the game at West Brom.”
