Now, the City boss was asked whether they will make a bid for the Chilean in the upcoming January transfer window and he said:
Guardiola does not directly deny interest in the 29-year old hinting at a possible bid, especially with Gabriel Jesus out injured for a couple of months leaving Sergio Aguero as the only senior striker. Meanwhile, Wenger continues to be asked the same question regarding Sanchez’s future in almost every press conference and he replied after the 1-1 draw at West Brom saying:
The January transfer window is finally open and the Gunners faithful will be hoping for a resolution soon enough.
Wilfried Zaha not leaving Crystal Palace in January
The 25-year old is the lynchpin of the relegation-threatened side and has been in sensational form since more than a year. His performances have caught the attention of the top English clubs with many touting him as the best attacker outside the top six.
Arsenal are reportedly the front-runners for the player’s signature with Wenger looking to replace the departing Sanchez.
However, Zaha looks to have shattered the Gunners hopes when he was asked regarding a January move after another top display against league leaders Manchester City, where he won a late penalty. On being asked whether he will be at the club until the end of the season, he told BBC:
The short yet definitive answer would only imply that he will consider a move in the summer, which was reiterated by his manager, Roy Hodgson, few days back who said:
Thus, Wenger has to look elsewhere if he is looking to add a quality attacker in January.
Jack Wilshere drops the biggest hint yet on extending contract
The 25-year old was looking to leave his boyhood club in this transfer window due to a multitude of reasons. His struggle to stay fit pushed him out of the first-team and a failed loan spell at Bournemouth in the previous season did not help the situation.
When he returned to Arsenal in the summer, his appearances were limited to cup competitions and the reduced playing time led to missing out on Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
Thus, Wilshere was looking to move elsewhere if the situation does not improve and his hard work finally got rewarded as he stepped in for the injured Aaron Ramsey in recent weeks to play in the Premier League.
This led to both Wenger and the player mentioning contract talks are on the horizon and now the Englishman dropped the biggest hint yet of staying at the Emirates on Instagram.
