​Bayern Munich aim for Chelsea's Willian after giving up on Arsenal ace Sanchez

German champions Bayern Munich will now turn their sights towards Chelsea's Willian after becoming increasingly frustrated in their pursuit of Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez.

The Bavarian giants have held the Arsenal winger at the top of their wish list for some time, but they are beginning to feel annoyed by Sanchez's excessive contract demands.

According to Abendzeitung, Carlo Ancelotti views Willian as an adequate replacement for the ageing Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, if they are unable to get Sanchez.

The 28-year old Brazilian has struggled for game time under Antonio Conte this season and an offer from one of Europe's biggest clubs may be to hard to resist.
