Arsenal have confirmed the capture of Alexis Sanchez.

The Chile international has agreed a long-term contract with the Gunners after moving from Barcelona for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old was one of the stars of this summer's World Cup in Brazil and is set to move to north London for a reported initial fee of €30 million.

Speculation suggests that the pacey winger may be converted into a striker by manager Arsene Wenger who paved the way for the transfer while in Brazil.
