Sanchez should leave Arsenal – Ian Wright

Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has implored Alexis Sanchez to leave club as the gunners struggle to stay on top 4. The former Barcelona player who was not in the starting lineup against Liverpool over reports that he had a bust-up with some of his colleagues, a claim denied by his boss, Arsene Wenger, has been advised to pitch his tent in a better club.

Ian Wright told BT Sport’s Premier League Tonight, “When there’s unrest, why do I want to stay? We’re not challenging for anything – there’s a good chance Arsenal will go out of the Champions League. He is a sought-after player. I would be sitting in the dressing room as Sanchez was and I’m sure his agent is making phone calls now.”
He continued, “With Arsenal’s form at the moment I do worry for them. I just watched a game where the best player in our squad has been left out. When he come on he showed a difference, and I’m trying to think ‘if we leave him out, then who’s coming in to inspire the team?’ So you have to worry for Arsenal finishing in the top four.”

Alexis Sanchez admits to tax fraud

Arsenal striker, Alexis Sanchez has admitted to evading payment of tax of almost €1m from his image rights via a company based in Malta between 2012 and 2013, during his spell at Barcelona. He declared in a court in the Catalan city on Monday via a video link, and confessed to two counts of tax fraud and defrauding the Treasury to a total value of 983,443 euros.
The Chilean international has reportedly returned the money and he is not likely to face a trial. His defence team and the Treasury will however come to an agreement regarding how much he will be fined for the delay in paying the taxes and possibly on the length of a prison sentence, which would be short and therefore suspended.

Alexis Sanchez explains why he built pitches for children in his hometown.

Alexis Sanchez has given back to his community!
The Arsenal star has built two artificial pitches for kids in his hometown, Tocopilla, Chile.
Explaining
the reasons behind the generous donation, the former Barcelona player stated
that “I wanted the kids to have a decent pitch to play on as I never
 had that. People can end up going down the wrong path, like
alcohol and drugs, and that’s bad news for children. Whenever I
am there I try to set up events, play with the kids and promote other things. When
I do go to Tocopilla, I try to set up events and give footballs just to
see the smiles on the children’s faces as I honestly believe that small
children are the most important things in the world. ‘They learn from us as
adults and it’s really important to do things like this.’

Arsenal lack the self-belief to claim the title – Alexis Sanchez

Arsenal player, Alexis Sanchez reckons  Arsenal have the talent to win the Premier League, but lack the self-belief to claim the title. The Gunners title hopes diminished after their 2-1 loss to  Swansea City on Wednesday. They are now 6 points behind leaders, Leicester City
Speaking recently to DirecTV Sports, the former Barcelona star affirmed that Arsenal are lacking a certain hunger and confidence to clinch the title.
“I think we can win the Premier League with the players we have. That said, we lack a certain hunger. We need to step out onto the pitch as if we’re already 1-0 up.
“We lack self-belief, that we can actually be champions.
“I remember a game against Manchester United last year. The lads looked hungry for silverware as we took to the pitch. We crushed them in the first 20 minutes and went 2-0 up. We were hungry and brimming with confidence that day.”  He stated.

Peruvian witch doctors couldn't stop Alexis Sanchez.

So yesterday, some thoroughly foolish Peruvian fans employed the services of some witch doctors in their country to stop Chile international, Alexis Sanchez from scoring during  Peru’s World Cup Qualifier vs. Chile yesterday.
Using a tortoise, they chanted incantations on his kit in the hopes that the forward will be slowed to the pace of a tortoise but guess what, the ex Barcelona player didn’t only toss the net twice but also provided 2 assists for Chile during their 4-3 victory against Peru.
The 26 year-old also‎ became Chile’s 3rd highest goal-scorer for the national team. Suffice it to say he is one of the most respected ‎footballers at the moment.
