The former Barcelona star was talking at a press event in Santiago, but the news has fuelled speculation that he could join rivals Chelsea in a shocking switch.

Blues boss Antonio Conte has identified Sanchez as a key target, and Arsenal, though reluctant to sell their prize asset, may be forced to cash in if an offer of over £50million comes in.

He has been lethal in front of goal this campaign, and has banged in 22 goals in all competitions, but has seen his side once again fall out of contention of winning the Premier League.

Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain remain keen on bringing him in, but his revelation has cast doubts over his future under Arsene Wenger.
