Odds slashed as 100% of bets in the last 24 hours placed on City to sign the Arsenal forward.
The future of Alexis Sanchez has been a hot topic this summer and with deadline day fast approaching, it seems a last minute move to Manchester might still be on the cards. With various reports that Man City and Man United are both keen to sign the Chilean, both bookmakers and punters have reacted, causing significant movement in the betting market.
Although both clubs have been linked with the player, it is Man City who people are backing to seal the deal. Guardiola and co. have received 100% of all stakes in the last 24 hours with odds being slashed from 2/1 to 4/7 during that same timeframe. On the contrary, Arsenal’s odds have drifted out to 6/4 and their fans will be getting increasingly worried that they will not hold on to their star man.
Arsenal’s poor start to the season will not have helped their cause and City’s willingness to spend is no secret; that being said there is only a couple of days left to seal the deal, so it may be a case of saved by the bell. Rumours of Sterling being included in some form of part-exchange are also being thrown about, which may slightly soften the blow for The Gunners if the deal was to go through.
