Wenger Hopes Alexis Stays at Arsenal

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is hoping Alexis Sanchez will remain with the club "for longer" despite links to a January move to Manchester City.

 

The 29-year-old has been heavily touted for a switch to City, who failed to conclude a deadline-day swoop for the star back in August.

 

But the transfer talk didn't prevent Wenger from playing Alexis as a second-half substitute Wednesday against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.

Chelsea's Charly Musonda will have no shortage of offers after being made available for loan, reports the Telegraph .

 

A host of Premier League sides including Watford, Bournemouth, Newcastle and West Brom are interested in taking the 21-year-old prospect on a temporary deal.

 

Carlo Ancelotti has agreed a four-year deal with Arsenal which will see him succeed Arsene Wenger in the summer, reports Corriere dello Sport.

 

The Gunners tied their long-serving French coach to a two-year contract in 2017, but have lost patience amid a lack of progress and are ready to move on.

 

Former Chelsea boss Ancelotti is the man they have turned to, with the Italian currently out of work after leaving Bayern Munich.
