Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez plans to return to Spain this summer.

The Daily Star says Sevilla are in pole position to land the Chile striker, who is a big fan of their boss Jorge Sampaoli, his former national team manager.

Atletico Madrid are also interested if they can get their transfer ban cut from two windows to one, allowing them to sign players for next season.

Chile ace Sanchez has become increasingly frustrated at the lack of progress by the Gunners, who look certain to crash out of the Champions League next week.

Sanchez is understood to have made no secret of his thinking within the camp, and talks aimed to getting him to sign a new deal have stalled.

It is understood Sanchez does not want another season with the Gunners even if boss Arsene Wenger commits to a new contract.
