The player that has been linked the most with Chelsea in recent times is Alexis Sanchez, and of course Chelsea fans are eager for the club to make the signing possible.

Former Arsenal star Paul Merson is angry with his former club for not tying Sanchez to a new contract earlier on and has revealed that the Chilean will be sold to Chelsea.

The Sky Sports pundit telling Newsweek about his thoughts on Sanchez’s future, said: “I would be shocked if Sanchez wasn’t playing for Chelsea next season.

“People go, ‘Oh, don’t be silly,’ but don’t forget if he was going to sign, he probably would have done it at the start of the year.

“I don’t see him signing and why people say he’ll never go to Chelsea, Arsenal don’t work like that. They’re not going to let him see his contract out: They want £50million. They sold [Robin] Van Persie to Man United [in 2012] and they went on and won the league. They don’t care about that.”
