Arsene Wenger has insisted that forward Alexis Sanchez will have no problems reproducing his best form at the club after what was an eventful transfer window.

Sanchez looked certain to leave Arsenal this summer after refusing to sign a new contract at the club. Manchester City were hugely interested in the forward and seemed certain to wrap up a deal for the Chile in a deal believed to be worth around £60m. However, the Gunners’ failed move for Monaco’s Thomas Lemar put the deal on hold and thus Sanchez remains an Arsenal player.

After what Wenger describes as an “uncomfortable” transfer window, the Frenchman says he has “no doubt about Alexis’ mind and mentality”.

“He will be back very quickly to his best,” said Wenger.

“The transfer market is over, there was a lot going on. It’s very difficult to speak about because Lemar is now at Monaco and has to focus there, Sanchez is here and his focus is here.”

“Many things happen in the last second which I regret. That’s why I believe it’s time we change the rules and close the transfer window before the league season starts.”

“The players have no clarity. Are they in or out? There are some who are tapped up on the afternoon of a game by people who want to get them out.”

“It’s uncomfortable and every manager in the league would agree it’s time to kick that out before the season starts. You can’t have players in the dressing room who are half in and half out.”
