- Alexis Sanchez's popularity at Arsenal has hit the rock in recent months
- Some members of the squad and backroom staff have had enough of the Chilean
- Thierry Henry has earlier accused Sanchez of dividing the Arsenal dressing room
A number of Arsenal players want Alexis Sanchez to be sold during the January transfer window after growing ‘sick’ of the Chilean superstar, according to the reports reaching NAIJ.com.
Sánchez was involved in a well-documented confrontation with Laurent Koscielny at Arsenal’s training ground last March, on the eve of the visit to Liverpool – a game for which Sánchez would be dropped and the divisions in the team were there for all to see in the 3-2 win against Palace.
Only four of his team-mates Granit Xhaka, Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Shkodran Mustafi celebrated with him when he scored Arsenal’s second at Selhurst Park on Thursday evening.

If he didn't know about their feelings towards him before, he would have got the gist during a dressing-room inquest after Arsenal scraped a 1-1 draw at Southampton earlier this month.
Sanchez wasn't at his best at St Mary's a common theme so far this season. After the final whistle, a group of players made their feelings clear.
