Football - Arsenal transfer news and rumours: Alexis Sanchez set to become Chelsea's top summer target?

The Gunners could be interested in a move for Marcelo Brozovic, who looks increasingly likely to become available in the near future 

Target man: Sanchez has been emerged as a shock target for Arsenal's London rivals

Chelsea could make Alexis Sanchez a shock target if Jorge Sampaoli is named as the next manager at Stamford Bridge, according to the Daily Express.

The former Chile head coach is one of the favourites to take the post at the end of the season when Guus Hiddink's temporary spell in charge of the club comes to an end.

But a lot of Sampaoli's success with Chile has come from Sanchez - and he would like to have him alongside him should he embark on Premier League management.

Arsenal would likely demand a world record fee to depart with their main man, who returned from injury in the FA Cup win over Burnley on Saturday.

Brozovic to be available?Moving on: Brozovic's future is unsure at the San Siro

Inter Milan are desperate to offload Marcelo Brozovic, according to Corriere dello Sport.

That news will likely be welcomed by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, who has consistently been linked with a move for the Croatian midfielder over the past two transfer windows.

Brozovic is actually on loan at the San Siro but is expected to sign permanently in the near future - but will reportedly only be used as a makeweight in a further deal.
It is thought that Brozovic would cost around £15million should Wenger be tempted

Gibbs looking towards exit?

Kieran Gibbs will consider leaving Arsenal if he does not get back into the Gunners' first-team, according to the Daily Star.

Swansea, Newcastle and Crystal Palace are all reportedly tracking the full-back's progress after losing his regular berth in the team to Nacho Monreal.

But despite having Euro 2016 around the corner, Gibbs is believed to be happy to sit and wait for his chances before re-evaluating the situation in the summer.

Wenger hails "exceptional" Mohamed ElnenyImpressive: Elneny was in fine form on his Gunners debut

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hailed 'exceptional' midfielder Mohamed Elneny following the Gunners' 2-1 victory over Burnley in the FA Cup fourth round.

It was far from straightforward for the holders at the Emirates, on what was Elneny's first appearance for the club since his move from Basel earlier this month.

The Egyptian played 90 minutes, and Wenger was impressed with his debut.

"He became more adventurous," he said of his January signing.

"His mobility, his work rate was exceptional."
