Whatever happens in January, the common consensus is that this will be Alexis Sanchez's final season at Arsenal .
With the Chilean's contract running down and vultures circling and hoping to pick him up for a bargain fee, Sanchez's days at the Emirates look to be numbered.
As a result, everyone is watching his every move very closely at the moment.
But those moves aren't exactly overly impressive ones.
Sanchez has failed to impress in the Gunners' last two Premier League games - the 3-1 defeat to Manchester United and the 1-1 draw with Southampton .

And stats show that he somewhat remarkably gave the ball away a combined 66 times in those matches - 32 against Southampton and 34 against United, Nos. 2 and 1 in terms of the most amount of times any Arsenal player given it away in a game all season.
In addition, Sanchez covered just 9.3km in the Southampton game, comfortably the least distance of any Gunner who completed 90 minutes - Mesut Ozil was next at 10.2km.

Sanchez also covered the least distance (9km) of the Arsenal players who played the full 90 minutes against United last weekend, again 0.9km fewer than the next best home player (Nacho Monreal at 9.9km).
In Arsenal's previous Premier League game against Huddersfield, Sanchez had covered 1.7km less than Aaron Ramsey when the pair were both substituted in the 73rd minute.
