#8 Alexis Sanchez (28 – Arsenal, Chile)

On his day, Sanchez is unstoppable

Alexis Sánchez has been one of the most consistent performers in Europe over the past few seasons and this season, he seems to have taken his game to a whole different level. His record speaks for itself. The Chilean has contributed an astonishing 36 goals (24 goals and 12 assists) in all competitions this season.

These stats are all the more impressive when you take into consideration that Arsenal are not having the best of seasons and he has been the lone ray of hope for them. If the Gunners miss out on a Champions League spot for the first time in several years, Sanchez is highly likely to move on to a club which regularly challenges for all the top honours.

Such a move can definitely take the game to a whole other level for El Niño Maravilla and make him one of the leading candidates for the Ballon d’Or.
