Manchester City players are convinced Alexis Sanchez and Kyle Walker are arriving at the Etihad in a £100million blockbuster double swoop.

Blues boss Pep Guardiola has targeted Arsenal forward Sanchez and Tottenham full-back Walker as his top two summer targets, and Etihad stars believe the pair's moves from north London to the Etihad are both done deals.

Sanchez has only got one year left on his current contract. The Gunners have offered him a new deal worth in excess of £250,000-a-week to stay, but missing out on next season's Champions League is a huge blow for their hopes.

Bayern Munich and French heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the 28-year-old Chile forward, with the German champions having made a strong move to try to sign him.

But there is a growing belief at City that Sanchez wants to stay in the Premier League, and that they are in pole position to get him.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists they do not want to sell to another English club and are ready to let him run down his contract rather than let him go to a direct rival. But City believe an offer of around £50m would tempt the Gunners, and if the player wants to move as the City stars believe then it would be difficult to stop the deal happening.

England right-back Walker is also set to move to the Etihad. A deal for him looks more straightforward.

The Sheffield-born defender is keen to return to the north, which gives City the edge over Chelsea and Bayern.

Tottenham will demand around £50m for Walker as they prepare to sell this summer as he has fallen out of favour.

The 26-year-old - who knows he could treble his money at City - lost his place in some games to Kieran Trippier after his form dipped at the end of the season.
