Arsene Wenger has said it will be serious business as usual for Alexis Sanchez when Arsenal travel to Manchester City on Sunday.
“I expect him to be motivated, but he always is, honestly. One thing you cannot fault with Alexis Sanchez is motivation,” Wenger said. “Your attention will be on [him]. My attention will be on the team performance, not on Alexis Sanchez.”
“I don’t see why against Man City it would be different than against any other team,” he said. “Alexis is a winner — when he walks on the football pitch he wants to win.”
Wenger, though, played down the motion that the move was close to happening.
“No — and at the end of the day, close or not close, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have any influence,” he said. “What is important is that when you’re somewhere and you have an opportunity to play at the top level you give your best, and that is what he will do.”
