Arsenal Transfer News: Alexis Sanchez Reportedly Eyed in Bayern Munich Rumours

Bayern Munich are reportedly keen to sign Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez, as they seek to rival Barcelona and Real Madrid at the pinnacle of the European game.According to Sport (h/t Rhys Turrell of the Daily Star), the German giants are hoping to land a world-class attacker to help preserve their stranglehold in the Bundesliga and remain a force in the UEFA Champions League.The Chileans future at the Emirates Stadium is far from certain, too. Sanchezs contract is set to expire at the end of the 2017-18 season and manager Arsene Wenger recently revealed talks over a new deal have been shelved for the time being.Although the former Barca man has cut a disinterested figure in recent weeks, since arriving at the club in 2014 hes been the standout attacker at the Emirates, per OptaJoel:Indeed, when hes at full flight, there arent many footballers more entertaining than Sanchez. The forward can link the play with finesse and intelligence in dangerous positions. Additionally, Sanchez is also dynamic and aggressive enough to beat his marker and fire a shot into the top corner.Finding a player who is willing to work hard, commit defensively and is still capable of scoring goals is rare. Its why, if Sanchez were to leave the Emirates Stadium, hed leave a massive chasm in the attacking third.Hes one of the few Arsenal players who seems to relish the big stage too. Per Paul Hayward of the Daily Telegraph, when Sanchez played at the Allianz Arena earlier in the campaign, he unsettled the Bayern defence:No doubt these attributes would have attracted the 28-year-old to Bayern when they did meet, although the Germans were by far the dominant force in a 10-2 aggregate win over two legs.Sanchez would surely be keen to become part of the setup at the Allianz Arena. After a difficult start to his tenure, manager Carlo Ancelotti is getting a tune out of this Bayern side; they look set to waltz away with the league title, while Real Madrid stand between them and a spot in the Champions Leagues last four.The prospect of Sanchez linking up with some of Bayerns attacking stars is a tantalising one too. Per the German champions official Twitter feed, in Robert Lewandowski they have one of the most potent goalscorers around:The only worry for Sanchez would be getting regular game time in Munich. As talented as he is, Ancelotti has Lewandowski and Thomas Muller to call upon up top, while in the wide positions Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman are arguably the finest crop of wingers in the world.Nevertheless, the forward looks set to leave the Emirates Stadium with no movement over an extension. And given the talent and determination Sanchez possesses, if he was to make the switch to Bayern, youd back him to force his way into the side on a regular basis somehow.
