Arsenal could use Alexis Sanchez to sign Juventus star Miralem Pjanic, reports claim.

The Gunners are growing increasingly tired of the uncertainty surrounding Sanchez's future.

The Chile international's current deal expires at the end of next season and there is currently no agreement over a new deal.

Spanish outlet Don Balon claim Arsene Wenger could flog Sanchez to Juventus, who are eager to snap him up.

But he wants Pjanic in return, having tried to sign the midfielder last summer.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has urged Mesut Ozil to stay at the north London club.

Ozil is yet to sign a new deal with his current contract expiring in 2018.

And Henry believes the Germany international should stay and help the Gunners end their wait for the Premier League title.

“Mesut has won the World Cup with Germany. But at club level, he has only one title, with Real Madrid in 2012. He will be desperate for more," Henry told The Sun.

“But he can do that at the Emirates That’s why I’d urge him to stay and become an Arsenal legend.

“Win that first title. Be the future of Arsenal. Not just the assist man, but the guy who drives the team forward. He can do that with Alexis Sanchez.”
