Alexis Sanchez happy to swap Arsenal for Chelsea this summer - report

The Arsenal talisman has been linked with an Emirates exit all season as contract talks stall.

Sanchez, 28, is demanding a bumper pay rise to stay at Arsenal under Arsene Wenger.

Starsport exclusively revealed this weekend that the Gunners are not willing to sell the former Barcelona star to a title rival.

The Arsenal hierarchy are ready to put their foot down and stop Sanchez from going to Manchester City or Chelsea.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Sanchez is happy to move across London and join the Blues.
