Arsene Wenger is confident of pulling off a £35million double deal for Arsenal targets Alexis Sanchez and Mathieu Debuchy.

Chile World Cup star Sanchez has indicated he is keen to move to the Gunners and now they must agree a fee with his club, Barcelona.

The Londoners have been in contact with Barca and are hoping a £25m bid will be enough to land the 25-year-old forward.

They have also held talks with Newcastle over a move for their French international right-back Debuchy, who is keen to join a club in the Champions League.

Newcastle would want around £10m for the defender - currently on World Cup duty in Brazil - and Arsenal could face competition for his signature from French champions Paris Saint-Germain and their Ligue 1 rivals Monaco.

But Wenger is confident he can land Debuchy, who would be the perfect, ready-made replacement for Bacary Sagna, who has left the Emirates as a free agent after seven seasons to join Manchester City.

interestingly, Newcastle have also enquired about a loan for Arsenal's young right-back Carl Jenkinson.

The Gunners have held talks with Sanchez's advisers and believe personal terms could be agreed quite quickly once they agree a fee with Barcelona.

Sanchez could be used through the middle, as a partner to Olivier Giroud or from the flank.

Liverpool ‎were keen for him to be part of the deal that looks set to take Luis Suarez from Anfield to the Nou Camp and while the player is not keen to go to Merseyside, Barcelona have granted him permission to talk to the Reds.

There is also interest in Sanchez from Italy, but Arsenal hope for further talks with his agent Fernando Felicevich, who is expected to fly to London for more negotiations.

Arsenal are optimistic on getting both deals done and such a huge spree would be a major winner with Gunners fans - with a new midfielder and a No2 keeper likely to follow.
