Amidst the reports, Sanchez has admitted that living in London is stressful for him.

“I like to go to London to eat something or have a drink with my friends,” the striker said in an interview with Arsenal magazine.

“However, I am a very home-loving person and I spend a lot of time at home.

“I do explore the city if I have the time for it but normally I would rather stay relaxed at home. London can be a stressful place because it's crowded and it's a big city.
