Ex-Man Utd & Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez set to be unemployed as he looks for third Premier League club on free transfer
A PREMIER League return could be on the cards for Alexis Sanchez.
The Chilean forward, 34, is a free agent following a spell at Marseille.
And Sanchez is keen on a third club in England after stints at Arsenal and Manchester United.
Sanchez can stay with his French side — but the feelers are out to Prem sides.
The ex-Udinese and Barcelona star was a huge hit at Arsenal from 2014-18, twice winning the FA Cup.
But he flopped after moving to Old Trafford, heading off to Inter Milan on loan and then permanently.
And he’s nearing the end of his first season in Ligue 1, with Marseille likely to remain in third place.
It’s been claimed in Chile that the Gunners are considering an offer.
But the 153-cap ace has never looked the same player he was at the Emirates since his unwanted exit five years ago.
Some supporters, however, have called for his return.

But many were angry at his departure to big rivals United for around £391,000 a week plus bonuses.
Sanchez has revealed he was instead poised to join Manchester City.
But an Etihad player set to switch the other way to the Emirates declined the move.
Sanchez has previously said: “Everything was ready, there was a player who was going to go to Arsenal.
“Then [Arsene] Wenger tells me you are not leaving because the other player did not want to come and they do not have another.
“Suddenly the cell phone rings. (Jose) Mourinho tells me: ‘Alexis, here is the seven [shirt] available for you.'”
Sanchez added: “That’s when I said to myself, Chilean footballer playing for Manchester United, something that has never happened.”
