Manchester City are reportedly ready to bide their time in their pursuit of Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez.
According to Paul Hetherington of the Daily Star Sunday, despite the Gunners' insistence the Chilean won't be sold in this transfer window, there is still belief at the Etihad Stadium a deal can be done.
"[City] are still hopeful that Arsenal will decide to cash in at around £45 million, rather than run the risk of losing Sanchez, 28, for nothing when his contract expires next summer," Hetherington noted. "But [Arsene] Wenger has insisted Sanchez is going nowhere, and the Frenchman is adamant that club owner Stan Kroenke and the rest of the board are fully behind that stubborn stance.
