Olympique Marseille striker Alexis Sanchez is eager to do Arsenal fans a favour against Champions League opponents Tottenham.

Sanchez was a favourite at the Emirates Stadium between 2014 and 2018, scoring 80 goals in 166 games, but tarnished his reputation when he forced a move to Manchester United, where he was a subsequent flop.

He now plays for Marseille and if they win at the Orange Velodrome on Tuesday night the Ligue 1 side will progress to the knockout stages at the expense of Spurs.

"I have great affection for Arsenal from my time there. I have some great memories with everyone at the club, especially the fans," he said.

"Beating Spurs every time was a great joy. It was very special and those are memories that I hold dear to my heart.

"Every single player has motivation to play and win. We all want to bring the victory back.

"In the dressing room, there is a lot of passion. Playing in front of the fans with their atmosphere is super important and that will drive us on."
