Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wishes he sold Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City for £60m last summer

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted he made a mistake not selling Alexis Sanchez for £60million last summer.

According to The Mirror, the Frenchman conceded if he 'had his time again' he would not have stood in the way of Sanchez joining Manchester City after they lodged a mega bid on deadline day in August.

It was football's worst kept secret that Sanchez was desperately unhappy at the Emirates Stadium and was intending to run down his contract to leave on a free at the end of this season.
