ARSENAL FANS REACT

Sanchez's latest social media activity comes as a stark contrast to a previous report conducted by Goal which said that he never wanted to play for Arsenal again.

The Chilean played 60 minutes in the Gunners' dismal 4-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield, but he was clearly not fully match fit, hence his terrible display.

Wenger has recently cleared up the situation surrounding Sanchez and also revealed the potential financial cost for Arsenal.

"You take a Sanchez into the final year of his contract, you sacrifice £60-£70million income and at the end of the season you will have to buy somebody for that amount of money," Wenger told beIN Sports, per Telegraph.

"It has a huge price so at some stage you have to make a decision, you have to sacrifice one or two."

At the end of the day, Gunners fans will simply be pleased to have maintained the services of their best player.
