Concerns about Alexis Sanchez's future as an Arsenal player have grown among his team-mates after Tuesday's dramatic 3-3 draw with Bournemouth, according to reports.

Sanchez publicly showed his anger and frustration at Arsenal needing to come from 3-0 down on the south coast to gain a point in the Premier League.

According to the Daily Mail, Sanchez's on-pitch tantrum at the Vitality Stadium continued into the dressing room, sparking fears from his team-mates that he may head for the exit at the Emirates.

The Chilean is currently in talks with Arsenal about renewing his contract, as the 2017/18 season is the final year of his deal.
