Chile coach Pizzi: Alexis not worried about Arsenal exit talk

Chile manager Juan Antonio Pizzi insists Alexis Sanchez isn't considering his options at Arsenal as they focus on the Confederations Cup.

Sanchez has been heavily linked with an exit from Arsenal, with Manchester City and Bayern Munich keen on signing the 28-year-old.

But Pizzi says: "100 per cent, 100 per cent.

"This is related to what I have said before.

"All our players are really focused on what we are doing and of course what they want to do is try and win the tournament and of course win tomorrow's game.

"There is so many things around football players that are related to their individual careers, their personal lives.

"But in this sort of situation, right before a tournament as important as this, players forget those things because what they really care about is representing their country and Chile."
