Arsenal Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Alexis Sanchez and Moussa Dembele

Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly plotting a sensational swoop for Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.

According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport (via Mark Brus of Metro) Inter are lining up several high-profile transfers worth a reported £128 million with Sanchez at the forefront.

Sanchez has been a shining light for the Gunners over the past few campaigns and has looked in impressive form in 2016/17.

The Chilean has scored eight goals and set up five more in all competitions so far this season, per WhoScored.com, while his dangerous style of play has caused constant nightmares for Premier League defences.

Even so, the Gunners are yet to tie Sanchez down to a new contract at the Emirates Stadium, and as his current deal expires in the summer of 2018, plenty of teams are sniffing around.

Manchester City and Juventus are also reportedly interested in the 27-year-old, but it’s Inter Milan who have an obscene amount of cash to splash and could well put in a big-money bid at the end of the season.

Arsenal are currently in talks with Sanchez over a new deal, and they’ll hope to get his signature on the dotted line sooner rather than later.

Elsewhere, the Gunners are said to be tracking Celtic striker Moussa Dembele, who has been in exemplary form in the Scottish top flight this year.

The former Fulham front man has scored seven domestic goals this term and added three in the Champions League, according to WhoScored.com, which has drawn the attention of the Premier League elite.

ESPN FC's Peter O'Rourke reported that Arsenal, Manchester United and Southampton are interested in the 20-year-old and that all clubs sent scouts to watch him in action against Barcelona in the Champions League in midweek.

The Gunners are very much in the hunt for the 2016/17 Premier League title, and they’ll look to tie the likes of Sanchez down to new contracts to keep them fully focused on the job at hand.

Arsenal take on AFC Bournemouth on Sunday, looking to keep up the pressure on the league leaders.
