Arturo Vidal urges Alexis Sanchez to join him at Bayern Munich as Chilean's Arsenal future remains unclear

Arturo Vidal has once again urged Bayern Munich to sign his Chile teammate Alexis Sanchez this summer.

Sanchez has one year left on his Arsenal contract as talks of a renewal continue to stall.

The player has subsequently been linked with a move away from the Emirates, with Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City all touted as potential destinations for the Chilean.

And speaking at the Confederations Cup in Russia, Vidal said that Bayern “would surely improve” were they to land his signature this summer.

"We'll see if Alexis is coming. I do not know yet," Vidal told German newspaper Bild.

"I know him very well. He is a spectacular player. And with him, we would surely improve.

"We already have a lot of top-level players. We are the best club in the world."

Sanchez, who became Chile’s record goalscorer after netting against Germany in the Confederations Cup last week, scored 24 Premier League goals for Arsenal last season as the side failed to finish inside the top four for the first time under manager Arsene Wenger.

Despite reports linking Sanchez with a move away from Arsenal this summer, Wenger has expressed his belief that the 28-year-old, alongside Mesut Ozil, will stay put at the north London club.

"This summer, first of all they will stay at the club and hopefully we can extend their contract."

When asked if either would leave, Wenger added: "I believe, at the moment, we're not on that front. We're focused on keeping the team together and to see how we can strengthen the team.

"When you sign a contract somewhere, you commit to give your best until the end of the last day of that contract. I would say 'why should they not give their best?'

"The interest of any player is always to play football and well, even more so at the end of your contact. If you're a winner, you want to win the game you're playing."
