Guardiola will pursue Chilean star

 

Pep Guardiola will look to make Alexis Sanchez his first signing at Manchester City if he indeed succeeds Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad Stadium.

 

City appear to be in the driving seat to secure Guardiola's services should he opt against extending his stay at Bayern Munich, with his contract expiring at the end of the current season.

And Fichajes.net reports that Alexis will top the Spaniard's wishlist should he take charge of City, despite reports suggesting the Chile international is prepared to sign a new deal at the Emirates Stadium.

 

Alexis, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring problem, has impressed for Arsenal this season, with his WhoScored rating (7.68) bettered only by Mesut Ozil (7.86).
