Good riddance – Eagles star and Arsenal fan Ajayi glad to see back of Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez's move from Arsenal to Manchester United has dominated the January transfer window, and one high-profile Gunners fan is delighted to see the back of the Chile international.

Jay Ajayi may have moved from London to the United States at the age of seven but the Philadelphia Eagles running back remains a staunch Arsenal supporter.

"Basically, good riddance," Ajayi told The Telegraph. "I'm a supporter of the guys that play for the team and want to be there."

Minnesota will host the NFL's showpiece event on February 4 as the Eagles face the New England Patriots in a match that will bring America – and much of the world – to a standstill.

"I tell them it's like playing in the Champions League final or the World Cup final," he added.

"It's the pinnacle of sport.

"There's no better game, there's nothing after the Super Bowl. This is it, it's one of the biggest sporting event in the world."
