In the summer of 2014, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal were all linked with the Chilean who had been deemed surplus to requirements at the Camp Nou. Endless rumours swirled as Sanchez caught the eye of fans during the 2014 World Cup and Liverpool were heavily tipped as favourites for his signature as they looked to replace a Barcelona-bound Luis Suarez.

He's on this list, so you can probably guess what happened next. The Liverpool move didn't materialise and despite the Reds offering more for him, Arsenal took Sanchez to the Emirates.

It was alleged the reason why he chose the Gunners was that he wanted to live in the capital rather than Liverpool. However, when the truth came out, it was even more of a slap in the face. Sanchez revealed that his decision to move to Arsenal over Liverpool was actually based on the fact he thought they had more ambition and more ability to compete in every competition. Ouch.
