Alexis Sanchez insists he hasn't considered leaving Arsenal despite speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.

The Chile international had a slow start to the new season after leading his country to Copa America success during the summer, but has excelled in recent weeks.

Sanchez scored five goals in two games before the international break - helping Arsene Wenger's side past Leicester and Manchester United - and continued his good form in Lima, scoring twice as Chile beat Peru 4-3 in South American World Cup qualification.

Reports in Spain on Wednesday suggested Real are plotting a £37m swoop for the Gunners forward, but Sanchez insists departing Emirates Stadium is not something that has crossed his mind.

"I’m very happy at Arsenal, I don’t think about leaving," Sanchez said.

"I always want to be the best at everything I do. I’m never happy with what I do, I always want to give more."
