Fowler disappointed Alexis chose Arsenal over Liverpool

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler is disappointed seeing Alexis Sanchez sign for Arsenal.

The Reds were also in for the former Barcelona star.

"He is a great player. He is one of the players who have lit up the World Cup," he told talkSPORT.

"To be honest, I would have liked to have seen him at Liverpool. Fair play to Arsene Wenger and Arsenal for getting him there.

"Arsenal have lacked that striking option up there with [Olivier] Giroud and they are going to be there or thereabouts now.

"They have needed someone up top. Arsenal have been crying out for someone with a little pace up front."
