Thibaut Courtois: 'Arsenal can replace Alexis Sanchez'

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says that Arsenal will be able to replace Alexis Sanchez should he leave the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has said that Arsenal have enough quality players to replace Alexis Sanchez should he leave the Emirates Stadium.

Sanchez has been linked with a summer move to either Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain but with just a month to go in the transfer window, the Chilean remains in North London.

The Gunners star man could line up against Chelsea in the Community Shield on Sunday but regardless of his potential participation, Courtois insists that the Blues will be focusing on more than just Sanchez at Wembley Stadium.

The 25-year-old is quoted by the London Evening Standard as saying: "Alexis is a guy with a lot of quality. If you see all the games from last season there is a lot of danger coming from him.

"He has a very strong shot, he is quick. He has the technique. He is important for them but Arsenal have a lot of players with quality.

"So they will miss him but I think they have a lot of players with that quality to replace him. I think they have bought a good new striker. I'd prefer if [Sanchez] doesn't play because he is a good player, but we cannot only look to him."

Chelsea and Arsenal have already faced each other during pre-season, with Antonio Conte's side running out 3-0 victors in Beijing.
