Sanchez’s stellar displays have caught the attention of the Premier League giants who are reportedly ready to launch a bit for the Paraguayan in attempt to beat the competition to his signature.

In addition to Arsenal, Argentinean heavyweights Boca Juniors have also been credited with an interest in the talented 21-year-old.
