Wenger: Alexis Sanchez's departure is not as painful as Van Persie's

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hinted that he is not concerned about Alexis Sanchez's departure, Goal.com reported.

According to the French specialist, it was far more difficult for him to let the Dutch striker Robin van Persie go, who moved from Arsenal to Manchester United in 2012.

Wenger says that they brought Van Persie when he was playing in the second team of Feyenoord . According to the specialist, they have done a great job with him.  

Wegner added that they indeed lose a player but they can get to someone else. He thinks one will be able to replace the other.

According to the British media, Manchester United and Arsenal will swap Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexis Sanchez.
