Why the departure of Alexis Sanchez might open a window for Arsenal to rediscover their identity.

Arsene Wenger put it as eloquently as ever. “There is always life,” he said, with the sort of evangelical zeal that has seen him through the good times, the bad times and the worse times. “Arsenal Football Club is 130 years old. Many big players have left. Will it go a bit less well? We will see. But there is always life.”
