Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger commented on the canceled transfer of Alexis Sanchez.

The deal, according to which Alexis Sanchez was to move to Manchester City, never took place on the last day of the transfer window.

"Transfer Sanchez was far from its completion. Now I want him to focus on this season and Arsenal. I can not tell you all the details, but I want to say that if you sell a football player of the same caliber as Alexis, you need to replace him with someone. Otherwise no one will understand.

We could not get a replacement for him, so we tried to keep the player. Alexis Sanchez will remain in the Arsenal, this is his last year under contract. Either during the season will be found a way to extend the contract, or at the end of the season the player will go for free, "- quotes Winger as saying: beIN Sports.

Earlier it was reported that Sanchez remained very disappointed that the Londoners refused to sell it to Manchester City and refused to play for the team.
