Chile's head coach Juan Antonio Pizzi says every top club would like to sign Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez

Every top club wants to sign Alexis Sanchez, according to Chile head coach Juan Antonio Pizzi.

Pizzi has been having his say on the future of the Arsenal striker, who sees his contract at the Emirates run out next summer.

Sanchez, who signed from Barcelona in 2014 and has been key for the Gunners for the past three seasons, will play for Chile in the Confederations Cup semi-final against Portugal on Wednesday.

"We think he's very happy. He's giving his best like everyone else," said Pizzi.

"Everybody would like to be at the best clubs in the world, he is already at one, and everyone wants to have him in the squad. He's very focused and he knows exactly what he has to do.

"We will see what happens in the future. Right now he feels very comfortable and he's committed to the national team."

Sanchez scored 30 goals in 51 appearances for Arsenal last season but could not help Arsene Wenger's men secure a top-four Premier League finish and qualification for the Champions League

According to Sky sources, Arsenal are yet to receive a formal offer for Sanchez, despite reported interest from Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

But Sanchez's Chile team-mate Marcelo Diaz believes the continued transfer speculation will bring the best out of him, saying: "He will be able to keep developing during this summer and I think that his personal situation will help him grow."
