Arsenal have highlighted Lucas Moura as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez once his proposed move to Manchester United is finalised.

The Gunners will compete with Manchester United for the Paris Saint-Germain winger, report ESPN.

The Brazilian admitted he will likely depart this month following PSG's win over Nantes last weekend.

"Is there a chance that I stay this winter? I do not think so," Lucas said. "With what the coach has said, it looks like this is the end of my Paris story.

"I have offers but I cannot talk about them. I like English football very much, it is truly one of the best leagues in the world."
