Alexis Sanchez’s failed move to Manchester City has been the subject of ‘banter’ in the Arsenal dressing room. 

Arsène Wenger says that young players need to take their chances when given first-team football for Arsenal, ahead of tonight’s Europa League meeting with BATE Borisov.

Arsenal have taken a number of youngsters to Belarus for tonight’s European encounter with BATE Borisov, with Arsene Wenger rotating the side ahead of a fixture pile-up.

Chuba Akpom has revealed that Alexis Sanchez has been getting some stick in the dressing room over his failed summer move to Manchester City.

Seven youngsters seem set to travel to Belarus to feature in Arsenal’s Europa League match against BATE Borisov on Thursday.

Chuba Akpom is still hopeful of getting a chance with the Gunners, and says that at this point he’s just waiting to be able to prove himself.

After Arsenal’s first League Cup match of the season against Doncaster Rovers, we’re looking at whether the Gunners really do have such a good record bringing through youth.

Arsenal are apparently set to open talks with Danny Welbeck and Aaron Ramsey over new contracts.

Alexis Sanchez has been named in Arsenal’s Europa League squad for this season, along with 41 other players.

Arsenal wanted to sell more than eight players this summer to free up space on the wage bill, in addition to clearing their bloated first-team.
