Arsenal Transfers: 5 Summer Alternatives To Gonzalo Higuain

3. Alexis Sanchez

Following a difficult spell at Barcelona, Alexis Sanchez could be on the move this summer, according to a recent report in the Express. The Chilean forward only managed eight goals last term and has failed to convince the Nou Camp hierarchy that their £25 million investment in him two years ago has paid off, and the club now believe the time has come to cash in. And that could be good news for Arsenal, who have been interested in the star's signature, though they would face stiff competition from the likes of Juventus and Manchester City, who are understood to lead the race for the former Udinese man. Sanchez looks set to fall down the pecking order next season if he stays with the Catalans, and competition for attacking berths in Tito Vilanova's starting XI is even fiercer with the recent acquisition of Neymar. That could lead to the 24-year-old seeking pastures new this summer, and one potential destination could well be the Emirates.
