Alexis Sanchez’s Arsenal future could be decided by outcome of FA Cup clash with Manchester City
Chilean is viewed as a 'loner' at Arsenal but he will stay at the club as long as they can build 'winning project'
ALEXIS SANCHEZ'S Arsenal future could be decided by the outcome of today's FA Cup clash against Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's team are known to have an interest in the Gunners striker as uncertainty over his contract continues to build.
But victory today and a spot in the final against Chelsea would go some way to building a "winning project".
And that, according to the Independent, is what Sanchez has demanded if he is to remain at the club.
A third FA Cup in four years would go some way to alleviating the pain of this year's Premier League campaign under Wenger.
The Emirates side currently sit seventh in the table after Everton's draw with West Ham and missing out on the top four is a very real possibility.
A mountain of Wenger Out protest has hit the manager this year and signs calling for his resignation have popped up all over the world.
But with the news that chief executive Ivan Gazidis is set to stay on as it appears Wenger may extend his deal by another two years, it will be down to savvy moves in the summer transfer window to really bring in change.

Success will only be judged in medals won and trophies accrued - and that is what Sanchez is after.
The Independent claim the Chilean does want to stay at Arsenal but only if the medal tally matches his talent.
His "intensely loyal" nature is also thought to be playing a factor in keeping him in the capital, along with the fact he enjoys the anonymity that comes with living in such a big city.
