“You have got seven years to play with but I did think Sanchez was one of the best players in the Premier League last year.
“I thought he was world class for Arsenal and he makes things happen.
“What I would have done if I was Liverpool, I would have sold Coutinho and brought in Sanchez to Liverpool.”
Responding to Wilkins, talkSPORT presenter Brazil said: "It still might happen mate, got a couple of days."
Sanchez is currently in Chile, preparing for the World Cup qualifier against Paraguay tomorrow (11.30pm).
