Former Holland international George Boateng believes Arsenal attacker Alexis Sanchez would improve Manchester City.

Injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne in City's goalless draw at Crystal Palace could see the Premier League leaders move for the Chilean earlier than expected.

Boateng told Sky Sports News: "At the moment, Manchester City have got the most complete squad and it's very difficult for Pep Guardiola to improve it.

"Can you find a player that's better than what you've got? It's really difficult but Alexis Sanchez is the one that can probably come in and give a new fresh inspiration to the squad."

He addec: "Arsenal have done quite well to keep him until now. He's got six months left, what's the point of selling him now? They'd rather take the points that he can give Arsenal than to take the money."
