LONDON LIFE IS STRESSFUL, SAYS SANCHEZ AS HE PLOTS TO LEAVE ARSENAL.


Alexis Sanchez has claimed London life is stressful - casting doubt over his long-term future at Arsenal.

The Chilean has just 18 months left on his current contract at the Emirates and the Gunners are keen to tie him down to a new deal.

However, Arsenal are reluctant to meet Sanchez's wage demands of more than £200,000 a week and his latest comments about life in the British capital will be of concern to some fans.

Speaking to the Arsenal magazine, he said: "I like to go to London to eat something or have a drink with my friends.
"However, I am a very home-loving person and I spend a lot of time at home.

"I do explore the city if I have the time for it but normally I would rather stay relaxed at home. London can be a stressful place because it's crowded and it's a big city.

"Our routines as footballers can be energy-consuming too. You play one game after another, meet new people every day and travel a lot. That is why I try to disconnect and relax as soon as I get some time off."

Sanchez has scored 14 goals in 23 appearances for the Gunners this season.

The 28-year old has also been offered £400,000 a week to move to the Chinese Super League.
