Manu Fernandez/AP/Press Association ImagesManu Fernandez/AP/Press Association ImagesAnother man Liverpool are reportedly honing in on is Barcelona€™s Alexis Sanchez. The Chile international has impressed for his country at the World Cup in Brazil, scoring two goals and laying on an assist as Jorge Sampaoli€™s team reached the last-16 of the tournament. Last season represented something of a breakthrough campaign for Sanchez, who scored over 20 goals for the first time in his career. Playing on the right hand side of an attacking trio which involved Lionel Messi and Neymar, the Chilean produced several performances which demonstrated he can be one of European football€™s best players. Liverpool are thought to be very keen on signing Sanchez, either as part of a deal for Luis Suarez or simply as a separate transfer. At 25 years of age, he is a about to enter his peak and the prospect of him hitting the ground running will certainly please Brendan Rodgers. However, the worry for the Reds will be the reported interest of Arsenal. The Gunners are also looking to bolster their attacking options and have pinpointed Sanchez as an ideal signing. What€™s more, it is also believed that the Barcelona star would prefer a move to North London over Merseyside.
