It's sure that Sanchez will join red

The Chile international looks increasingly likely to depart the Emirates this month as both Manchester clubs battle for his services

Alexis Sanchez didn’t travel with the Arsenal squad to Bournemouth and won’t feature in Sunday’s Premier League match, with Arsene Wenger describing the attacker's situation as 'vague'.

The 29-year-old is subject of a transfer tussle between Manchester United and Manchester City this month , with Pep Guardiola’s side refusing to budge on their £25 million offer for the Chilean.

Alexis looked certain to join former manager Guardiola at the Etihad this month as the two clubs negotiated details of a move, though Jose Mourinho's interest in the attacker has made the decision a slightly more difficult one for the Arsenal man.
