Paul Merson believes that Alexis Sanchez is certain to be leaving Arsenal.

Arsenal suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night and following the defeat, there have been a lot of question marks raised regarding the future of manager Arsene Wenger.

In addition to Wenger, superstars Alexis and Mesut Ozil have been touted with moves away from the Emirates Stadium as well - especially considering their contractual situations - and now club legend Merson has stated his belief that the duo look very likely to depart North London at the end of the current campaign.

Merson told the Daily Star: "Sanchez is not staying.

"He wants to go and win stuff. He must be losing £80,000 a week by not signing. He's not staying. No chance.

"Who knows with Ozil? I can't see another big club paying the sort of money he wants for someone who doesn't show up half the time.

"Where are the winners at Arsenal? The leaders?

"It's too nice. How long's Theo Walcott been there, ten years? They haven't won a tap but he keeps on signing, because it's nice."
