ALEXIS SANCHEZ could be ready to make a shock return to the Premier League, according to sensational reports.
The Chilean, 34, racked up 63 goals in 154 top-flight appearances for Arsenal and Manchester United.
But after his miserable spell at Old Trafford, he was loaned to Inter in 2019-20 before joining the Serie A giants permanently.
Two years later, he signed for Marseille and scored 14 goals in 35 Ligue 1 games last season.
However, after only penning a one-year deal, he is now a free agent.
And reports in Chile claim Sanchez is ready to accept a stunning offer from Nottingham Forest.

The City Ground side narrowly avoided relegation last season in their first term back in the top flight since 1999.
El Futbolero say Sanchez is willing to forego Champions League football and mega wages to make the unexpected comeback to England.
Sanchez starred at Arsenal after arriving from Barcelona but struggled to live up to his mammoth £505,000-a-week wages at United.
Incredibly, the Red Devils paid the 155-cap international a staggering £20million per Premier League goal and £28,800 per touch.

After his stint at Inter, Sanchez enjoyed a fruitful campaign with Marseille.
But the report adds that relations with the French outfit were severed and he was not handed a contract extension.
Marseille have already brought in another big-money former Premier League man in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer and therefore decided against keeping Sanchez.
The forward was reportedly a transfer target for Turkish rivals Galatasaray and Besiktas, with suggestions of a £45,000-a-week contract on the table.
However, he could be set to link up with the likes of Chris Wood, Brennan Johnson and new signing from Manchester United Anthony Elanga in the East Midlands.
