Alexis Sanchez set tongues wagging when he was photographed at a Paris airport just days before the January transfer window opens.

The Arsenal star was reportedly enjoying a rare day off ahead of the Gunners' Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on Thursday.

But the Chilean, who is out of contract in the summer, is on the radar of a number of clubs, and Paris Saint-Germain are among his suitors.

According to reports from France, Sanchez arrived on a private jet on Boxing Day morning before heading back for training the following day.

The 29-year-old was pictured at London Colney on Wednesday ahead of Arsenal's trip to Selhurst Park.

Arsene Wenger spoke to the press prior to the session, and provided an update on Sanchez's future at the club, playing down the notion his departure is imminent.

"We have not been approached by anyone," he said. "Other than that I stand by what I have said before."

Wenger added that he is "open-minded" to the possibility of signing some new recruits for the north London side, but failed to name any names nor discuss the areas in which he will look to strenghten.

Speaking to the press about whether he anticipates a busy transfer window, the Frenchman said: "Yes, because first of all you have clubs that call you to get players on loan or to buy your players.

"And as well I'm open-minded to any possibility to strengthen our team."

Wenger has previously hit out at the January transfer window, suggesting it causes more disruption than anything else.

In a recent interview with Arsenal Player he echoed this sentiment, claiming it's too "hectic" and leads to "rushed decisions".

"I would scrap the transfer window in January, completely cut it off," said the Gunners boss.
