Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal ace Sanchez is going nowhere
Those are the thoughts of journalist Duncan Castles.
Arsene Wenger has repeatedly said Sanchez will not be leaving this summer, despite the 28-year-old being in the final year of his contract.
City have already had a £50million bid rejected, with the Gunners holding out for closer to £70m.
Reports yesterday suggested City have sent representatives to Chile to try and put everything in place for a deadline day deal.
And Castles thinks that like when Robin van Persie joined Manchester United from Arsenal in 2012, Sanchez could have the same effect as the Dutchman and win the title in his first season there.
