Lee Dixon Confirms Sanchez + Debuchy Deals After Speaking To Wenger

   Former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon says he’s spoken to Arsene Wenger and the boss is ‘very happy’ to be signing Alexis Sanchez and Mathieu Debuchy.
Sanchez is understood to be in London undergoing his medical this afternoon after a deal worth in the region of £30m was agreed with Barcelona earlier this week.
According to reports, the attackers agent agreed personal terms after holding talks on Tuesday and the Chilean international flew into the UK last night to finalise the move.
An £8m deal to sign Debuchy has also understood to have been agreed with Newcastle United and the French defender passed his medical earlier in the week.
As yet, nothing official has come from the club and the newspapers seem to think that a double announcement will be made on Friday after tonight’s kit launch.
However, as we fans sit and bite our nails praying for no late hitches, former right-back Lee Dixon has put our minds at ease slightly by revealing that he’s spoken to the boss and says he’s ‘very happy’ to be signing Sanchez and Debuchy.
If Arsene is happy and feels the deals are done, then that’s good enough for me…..although I will still feel a lot better when I see them holding their new shirts on Arsenal.com!

Why Debuchy is perfect replacement for Sagna at Arsenal

Full-back's departure was a blow but the Newcastle star's experience, defensive qualities, aerial ability and winning mentality mark him out as a worthy successor ANALYSIS By Liam Twomey In previous years, the departure of a club stalwart might have sparked talk of crisis at Arsenal . But Arsene Wenger has acted quickly in the wake of Bacary Sagna 's defection to Manchester City , with Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy set to be unveiled as a Gunner before the end of the week in a deal worth an initial £8 million .
