#2 Alexis Sanchez – €42.5 million
Alexis Sanchez was signed by Arsenal in the summer transfer window of 2014 and took no time to get into the groove and Wenger himself was pleasantly surprised how quickly he had adjusted to English football. At the beginning of the 2014-15 season he became Arsenal’s sole warrior and ended the season with 25 goals, and won the FA Cup trophy by scoring a screamer.
He had a slight dip in form in the 2015-16 season and was also sidelined due to injury for a couple of months but by the end of the season he was back to the best and showed his best form with Chile in the Copa America.
Arsenal’s go to man has been saying that he is hungry for success; his determination and hard work, visible on the pitch, has always been appreciated by the Gooners and they would be hoping for him and Ozil to have their best season together and finally get them the league.
