Alexis Sanchez has decided he wants to leave Arsenal in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

The 28-year-old forward has greatly impressed for the Gunners this term but it’s understood he has grown increasingly frustrated with the side’s lack of progress domestically and in Europe.

Starsport suggest Sanchez has now made up his mind that he’s ready to quit and will be pushing for a move to Sevilla at the end of the 2016/17 campaign.

It’s believed the Chilean superstar is looking to join forces with his former international boss, Jorge Sampaoli, at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium.

The report claims Sanchez’s team-mates in north London are already aware Sanchez wants to move on and he has made no secret of this fact.

Sampaoli has been a revelation in Spain since taking over the reins at Sevilla last June, with the side sitting third in La Liga.

Meanwhile, Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly informed friends he will take over from Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager this summer.

It’s understood Allegri is unhappy with Juve following a bust up with defender Leonardo Bonucci, with the manager recorded using strong language to admonish the player in a heated exchange, following a recent Serie A match.

Bonucci was subsequently banished to the stands for Juventus’ Champions League round of 16 first leg trip to Porto, but has since made up with Allegri, though the latter is said to be upset the club did not support him during this fall-out.

At Arsenal, meanwhile, opposition to Wenger’s 20-year reign appears to be growing; a section of fans are planning a protest march against the Frenchman’s continued presence at the club, ahead of the upcoming visit of Bayern Munich.
