Now, the Swedish have a great sense of humour and that could be the motivation for a Thursday Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City claim.
Aftonbladet newspaper claim that according to their own sources, Sanchez had a Manchester City medical on Wednesday.
It’s claimed the Arsenal owned player was at the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance for his medical, and presumably wasn’t spotted by a single member of the public, other than perhaps Aftonbladet’s source.
What would a Swedish newspaper know about a Chilean having a medical for Manchester City? Who knows, perhaps Zlatan Ibrahimovic is using the centre to get fit and has turned all ITK.
It takes 1more than 10 hours to fly from Chile to England, and there’s been no reports of Sanchez going AWOL yet.
The Arsenal player had asked for time off, with the intention assumed to be Manchester City transfer business, but it was thought that would happen in Chile.
