Sanchez saw his move to Man City collapse after Arsenal agreed to sell him for around £55million but were unable to sign a replacement in time.

Arsenal wanted Thomas Lemar and were prepared to pay £92m for the Monaco star, however they pulled out late this afternoon.

It means Sanchez will remain at Arsenal at least until January when he can then sign a pre-contract agreement to join another club next summer.

According to the Daily Mirror, Sanchez is devastated to not be joining City having told his Chile team-mates that the deal would be done.
