Blow to Arsenal as Juventus targets Alexis Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez

Juventus have lined up Alexis Sanchez as a potential replacement for Alvaro Morata, according to reports.

The Italian club were forced to sell Morata when Real Madrid exercised a €30million buyback clause in his contract last week.

The Daily Express claim Juve will use that money to launch a bid for Sanchez, who joined Arsenal from Barcelona two years ago.

Chilean Sanchez, whose Arsenal contract has two more years left to run, scored 17 goals in 41 appearances for Arsene Wenger’s side this season.
