# West Ham fans respond to journalist’s Alexis Sanchez claims

West Ham United fans have reacted to further reports of a potential move for Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez.

Chile international Sanchez is currently on loan with Serie A side Inter Milan after struggling over recent seasons to gain consistent starts and form at Old Trafford.

[Linked with a summer move](https://www.fcinternews.it/esclusive/fcin-sanchez-e-gia-iniziato-il-post-inter-primi-sondaggi-da-germania-e-inghilterra-per-il-cileno-334544) to the London stadium, the 31-year-old will undoubtedly receive further interest in the summer.

[Sanchez initially arrived on English soil from Barcelona in 2014,](https://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20140710/alexis-sanchez-agrees-to-join-arsenal) where he had a successful spell in La Liga.

A spell with Arsenal saw Sanchez win the FA Cup twice and make over 150 appearances before moving on to Man United.

With West Ham’s reported interest in a summer move, [football.london journalist Sam Inkersole has given his opinion on the matter](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/transfer-news/alexis-sanchez-west-ham-great-18048526), claiming that the forward would have to take a huge pay cut to mov to West Ham.

Inkersole claims that Sanchez would have to earn a [quarter of his £400k-p/w contract he currently earns at Old Trafford.](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/transfer-news/alexis-sanchez-west-ham-great-18048526)

Responding to the Inkersole’s article on the matter, these West Ham fans responded in a similar fashion, reacting negatively to such a move.
