Paul Merson Believes Arsenal Will Sell Sanchez To Chelsea

Arsenal Legend and Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson is convinced that Arsenal won't have any problems collecting £50m from Chelsea for the services of Chilean star Alexis Sanchez this summer.

The outspoken pundit believes if Arsenal managed to do it before, they will succeed doing it again "I think Sanchez will leave this summer," Merson told Sporting Life.

"I don't think Arsenal will finish in the top four and if they don't finish in the top four then I don't see him staying.  

"I know the way Arsenal work so there is no way they will let Sanchez leave for nothing if they can get £50m for him in the summer.  They will have no qualms in selling him to Chelsea. Arsenal will have no choice - if Chelsea are the team that are prepared to pay £50m then Arsenal won't let him see his contract out.    

"People say, 'Oh well, they won't sell to Chelsea', but they sold Robin van Persie to Manchester United so they won't be fussed about that.

"I definitely think Sanchez could be a Chelsea player next season. He is a world-class footballer so he would fit in at Chelsea.

"People say he is not the same player but he will get you a lot more goals than Hazard. If they can sign Sanchez for £50m and get £100m for Hazard then I think that is good business."
