But claims Sanchez is no longer on the market.

That's because he's apparently signed a deal with Champions League finalists Inter.

Romano said: "Alexis Sanchez has signed as new Inter player on short term deal — free transfer completed today.

"He’s back at the club after spending last season to Olympique Marseille."

Inter boss Simone Inzaghi was keen on adding another forward after Romelu Lukaku's loan ended.

The Italians, who lost 1-0 to Man City in last season's Champions League final, also saw Edin Dzeko depart.

Premier League fans will be sure to keep a close eye on Sanchez's fortunes.

He scored 80 goals in three-and-a-half years at Arsenal, helping them win two FA Cups.
