Arsenal Finally Land Barcelona And Chile's World Cup Star Alexis Sanchez

It's not often that Arsenal are the center of attention, but they've shocked the world with one of their biggest transfers in years. Alexis Sanchez, who played for Barcelona and plays internationally for Chile, has joined the Gunners in a $50 million deal. The star had a sensational World Cup, and Arsenal moved swiftly to sign the star, who many regard as a top-50 talent across world football. With this deal sealed, can Arsenal fight for the Premier League title?

The Gunners have been reluctant to spend major money over the past 5-10 years, and they'd become somewhat of a laughing stock, but this deal will wipe the smile off of those faces now, and put the smile back firmly on to the face of the Arsenal fans. The Gunners won the FA Cup last season, and they are hoping to fight for the EPL title, and this signing will firmly add to that expectation.

Sanchez was a major hit in Spain, for Barcelona, but he wanted more game-time, and attention, with Barcelona's star-studded roster too much to handle. Now he can be the main man at the Emirates, and he should instantly become one of the top players in the English league.

Will there be a better deal than this during the rest of the summer transfer window? If Arsenal are finally ready to spend big, are we set to have a title race that consists of many teams, or will defending champions Manchester City ease their way to the finish line once again?
