Alexis Sanchez wants Arsenal to sign Javier Hernandez

If you were a creative attacking player, why wouldn’t you want your club to bring in one of the world’s most in-form finishers?

That seems to be the thinking of Alexis Sanchez, who has reportedly encouraged manager Arsene Wenger to bring Javier Hernandez to Arsenal.

Don Balon report that the Chilean thinks Chicharito can complement him perfectly, after the Bayer Leverkusen striker found the net seven times in his last five games.

Hernandez’s 19 goals for the German side represent his best domestic return for a season since 2010/11, his first campaign at Manchester United, and he still has several months to improve on his tally.

A move to Arsenal would also see the 27-year-old reunited with former United striker partner Danny Welbeck, who is currently sidelined by injury.
