Alexis Sanchez has “made a decision” over his future, delivering the clearest hint yet over an Arsenal exit by stating he wants to play in the Champions League.
The Chilean superstar enjoyed a sensational season in 2016/17, initially as a loan striker and then as part of the attacking pair in a 3-4-2-1.
However, Arsenal failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in two decades after a disastrous start to the new year.
Sanchez has since been heavily linked with a summer transfer, as he has just one year left to run on his contract. Manchester City are widely reported to be the front-runners for his signature.
Still on his break after playing the Confederations Cup, the Gunners’ No.7 told Radio Sport: “I have made my decision, but now the decision has to be taken

“I have to wait to know what they want. My idea is to play and win the Champions League. It’s a dream I have had since I was little.”
What were the key numbers behind Sanchez’s 2016/17 Premier League form?
38 – Sanchez was the only Arsenal player to feature in every fixture.
24 – He scored 24 goals, marking his best Premier League return and ensuring he ranked third in the division (behind Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku).
3 – Perhaps showing his willingness to help in his own half, the 28-year-old also topped one unwanted category in the Arsenal squad, in defensive errors ( three )
