Sanchez refuses to be part of Suarez deal as Chile star eyes Arsenal move
Alexis Sanchez is ready to throw a spanner in the works of Barcelona's attempts to sign Luis Suarez by refusing to join Liverpool.
Barca are keen to use the Chile international as a makeweight in their pursuit of Suarez - but Sanchez is understood to prefer a move to rivals Arsenal.
And Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is set to grant the South American his wish by launching a move for the attacking midfielder.
Barca officials have arrived in London to start formal talks with Liverpool over their interest in Suarez.
Liverpool, who are interested in Sanchez, want £80million for Suarez this summer.
The Catalan club are prepared to use Sanchez, who is valued at £30m, as a sweetener in their offer for Suarez.
But Sanchez looks likely to snub a move to Anfield, with his heart set on a switch to the Emirates Stadium.
That means only a straight cash deal for Suarez is likely to be enough to persuade Liverpool to sees their prolific striker.
Sources close to Sanchez have indicated that the 25-year-old would prefer a move to London, leaving Arsenal in pole position to land the talented forward.
