Chelsea

Ideally if Alexis Sanchez does decide to leave the club, Arsenal would prefer it if he moved to a team in a different league but Arsenal throughout recent years have shown that they are willing to sell key players to teams within the same league as them – Robin Van Persie to Man United, Ashley Cole to Chelsea, Nasri/Clichy/Sagna to Man City and with the exception of Fabregas to Barcelona, they’ve always sold key players to Premier League teams in the last decade so the idea of Sanchez joining another team in England really isn’t too much of a stretch if there is serious interest from Chelsea.

Sanchez’s work-rate and mentality would fit in well with Antonio Conte’s team, Sanchez runs all game and is well-known for working hard and giving it his all on the pitch. He would also give Chelsea more added depth to the team as with them competing in the Champions League next season and having more games to play, they won’t be able to field the same team every week as they usually do. Sanchez would be coming in to replace Pedro in the first team or to rotate ideally with Diego Costa or even to replace Costa if the rumours about him potentially moving to China are true, despite being highly unlikely.
