Bayern Munich make Alexis contact

German giants Bayern Munich are reported to have made polite enquiries over the availability of Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez this summer.

The Chilean international joined the North London giants from Barcelona last season, and had a great spell in the first-team netting 25 goals in all competitions.

However, his second year has been a mixed one with a hamstring problem hampering his progress since the turn of the year.

The Mirror says the Bavarian giants have made initial contact with the player's representative over a potential summer move to the Allianz Arena.

It will be interesting to whether the Gunners respond to the approach given they are in a good financial position themselves to boost their squad for next season.

Sanchez has managed to net 12 league goals for the Gunners despite his average run this term.
