Alexis Sanchez is ready to stay with Arsenal for the new season.

The Mirror says he is ready to accept Arsenal's hardline stance and see out the final year of his contract.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has insisted that he has the backing of the club's board to force Sanchez to stay despite risking losing him for nothing when his deal expires next summer.

But Sanchez is dropping hints to his team mates and friends that he is now resigned to staying and leaving as a free agent when he is likely to get an even more lucrative contract.

Arsenal have made it clear they will not sell to Manchester City or any other Premier League rival and that has shut down Sanchez's options.

Bayern Munich were keen but were put off by Sanchez's demands as his advisers have been asking for £400,000-a-week.
