Leave Arsenal, save you career. Ian Wright tells sanchez
2 min readArsenal legend Ian Wright has urged Alexis Sanchez to quit the club after he was dropped to the bench for the Gunner’s game against Liverpool.
His introduction at half-time as a massive improvement in his side’s play and he assisted the Gunner’s only goal by Danny Welbeck in the 3 – 1 defeat.
Ex-Gunners star Ian Wright said on BT Sport: “I’d be thinking ‘if I can’t get in this team — hammered out of the Champions League and not in the top four — I know there’ll be other teams’.”
Ferdinand: “His agent will be the first person on the phone saying ‘where do you want to go?’ ”
Wright added: “He has nothing to lose now. It was a strange game to leave him out of, it baffled me.”
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard said: “You always play your world-class players, especially in the big games.”
“The thinking was that we had to go more direct and bring Sanchez on in the second half.
“I don’t deny Alexis Sanchez is a great player. A decision like that is not easy to make but you always have to stand up.”
