Fabrizio Larini: Arsenal are "ideal" for Alexis Sanchez

Udinese sporting director Fabrizio Larini has said that Arsenal are the "ideal" team for Alexis Sanchez to join if he leaves Barcelona this summer.

The Chile international has reportedly been the subject of interest from Juventus, as well as the Gunners, and Larini thinks that Arsene Wenger's side's style of play would be best suited to Sanchez's game.

"Sanchez needs to play the ball on the ground, just like Arsenal. That would be his ideal game," Larini told reporters.

"I do not know his current situation at the Spanish club. But his fitness problems have definitely limited his performances.

"The only thing that these teams will have to consider is that he is a player who needs freedom to play his way. In teams that have particularly rigid patterns of play he might have a few problems."

Sanchez, who played for Udinese from 2006, left for Barca in 2011 for around £22m.
