Sanchez: Arsenal future in my agent's hands

Alexis Sanchez says his agent will hold talks with Arsenal as speculation builds that he is to leave the club during the transfer window.

The forward, who has one year left on his contract, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Gunners, even though manager Arsene Wenger has insisted he will not be sold.

Manchester City and Bayern Munich are said to be the top two contenders for his signature, with reports in England suggesting Sanchez has his heart set on joining Pep Guardiola's side.

Sanchez admits he wants "a lot of things" but says it will be down to his representative to settle his future.

"I'm looking at what my agent is doing," he told Cooperativa. "For now, I'm focused on the [Confederations] Cup in Russia and trying to do well.

"The truth is that my agent will see to it. He knows and he will sit down with the club to look for the best option for me. 

"I'd like a lot of things but I'm only thinking about the national team."

His agent, Fernando Felicevich, was reported to have held talks in Germany over a possible move to Bayern last month.
