Arsenal News: Wenger issues Sanchez update, Everton eye ace, striker wants England move

Posted Monday, December 14, 2015 by Dailystar.co.uk

Alexandre Pato has issued a come-and-get-me plea to the Premier League’s big boys.

The Brazilian striker has been linked with Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.

"I would like to come to England because I think the championship is the No.1 in the world,” he told the Telegraph.

''Now I’m ready for a new challenge. I want to write a new story in Europe, to make a new history."

Arsene Wenger believes there is a small chance Alexis Sanchez will be fit to face Manchester City.

The Arsenal star limped off during the Gunners' 1-1 draw with Norwich last month and was initially ruled out until the end of December.

The Gunners face City on December 21 at the Emirates in a crucial clash for both sides and Wenger says you can't rule the Chilean out of making an early return.

"The closest to having a chance [of facing Manchester City] is Alexis," said the Arsenal boss. "My medical people think he will not be ready but Sanchez being Sanchez, you never know."

Everton are considering Arsenal’s Calum Chambers as a replacement for John Stones.

Manchester United and Chelsea are keen on Stones and the latter had three bids rejected for the England man over the summer.

Everton insisted he was not for sale then and their stance hasn’t changed since.

However, The Sunday Mirror report that the Toffees are preparing for life after Stones in case an offer they simply can’t refuse comes in, with Chambers on their radar.
