"I've always liked it because strange last-minute signings like Alexis Sanchez's move to Sevilla come about. I like that movement; it's a beautiful thing in football, and I'm glad these things happen."
"Age? Soccer is simple. Every year I see it as being easier. It's not a problem, you have to see it on the pitch and when the season ends we'll have to see where everything is. I feel good, I'm getting ready to be like a 20-year-old kid. Age is a number. I have to make it difficult for the coach [to leave me out]. I came to help the young people, the club. We are going to give joy to the fans this year."
Alexis Sanchez returned to La Liga on deadline day, signing a 12-month contract with Sevilla eleven years after leaving Barcelona for Arsenal. He previously played for Arsenal, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Marseille and Udinese and has 168 caps for Chile. Teenage Spain winger Lamine Yamal expressed delight at the unexpected move. Sanchez responded that Yamal knows he is good for football and said he trains alone to be like a 20-year-old. Sanchez stated that age is not a barrier, described soccer as simpler each year, and committed to helping the club, supporting young players and giving fans joy.
