Will Alexis Sanchez stay or will Alexis Sanchez go?
It’s a question Arsenal fans have been pondering for much of the last six months, probably more so since it emerged there’d be no Champions League football on offer at The Emirates in 2017/18.
The issue of where he’ll be earning his multi-million pound wage next season doesn’t appear to have been too much of a priority for the man himself, however. Instead, he’s sprouted an impressive goatee and signed himself up for Channel 4’s First Dates… or at least that’s how far too many people who happened to be watching this week’s edition of the show saw it.
A quick Twitter search reveals that a good number of people watching the episode noticed a similarity between one of the men appearing on it and Arsenal’s Chilean international.

Purely to boost the word count a little bit, we should point out that this is actually a man named Chris and definitely isn’t Alexis Sanchez.
Sanchez is, according to some reports from France at least, currently in Paris ahead of a potential move to Paris Saint-Germain. To our knowledge, he has no intention of appearing on First Dates any time soon, either.
