Arsenal Star Avoids shaking Hands with Coach In Training

It appears Alexis Sanchez snubbed shaking Arsene Wenger's hand in Arsenal training, on Wednesday, October 18. The Arsenal boss has a tradition of shaking the hand of every player ahead of a training session.

Sanchez along with Nacho Monreal and Mesut Ozil were joining the rest of the Arsenal team, with Monreal and Ozil shaking Wenger's hand upon arriving. Sanchez, however, appeared to walk towards the Frenchman with his head down before heading off to the left to avoid interaction.


Arsene Wenger tried to clear up the issue in his press conference ahead of Thursday's game. He told reporters that he did no't shake Sanchez's hand because the Chilean was one of the first players he spoke to in the medical centre before they took the pitch. Alexis Sanchez tried to force a move away from Arsenal all summer but the Gunners were able to keep hold of him for now and it doesn't look like the Chilean is happy to stay.
