Former Arsenal star Jens Lehmann has talked up a possible move to Bayern Munich for the unsettled Alexis Sanchez.
Sanchez has one year left on his contract at the Emirates, and has been heavily linked with an exit following a disappointing campaign for the club.
Lehmann, Gunners goalkeeper during their 2004 Invincibles season, says that while he is not a typical Bayern target, he would fit in well in Bavaria.
He told Sky Deutschland: ‘He would fit in at Bayern, although he is not the typical wide player they are seeking. He likes to cut inside, I have seen players that make better decisions on the pitch, but perhaps he can learn that.
‘He is a street footballer, you notice that when he is on the pitch. Playing him in a system is not so easy but it would be nice to see him in the Bundesliga.’
Another Germany legend thinks Sanchez should join the Bundesliga champions, with Lothar Matthaus saying Sanchez would be the perfect replacement for the ageing pair of Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
He said: ‘He is dangerous in front of goal and can play in a wide range of offensive positions.
‘Bayern have only one genuine number nine with Lewandowski at the moment. Adding the option of Sanchez would improve their attacking quality.’
Sanchez’s performances have declined in 2017, leading to speculation he wants to leave as Arsenal face possibly ending the season trophyless and missing out on the Champions League for the first time in two decades.
