5 best transfers from La Liga to the Premier League in the last 5 years

#1. Alexis Sanchez (Barcelona to Arsenal)

Arsenal's contract rebel has unquestionably been an excellent purchase

Alexis Sanchez left Barcelona because his performances and value to the side were over-shadowed massively by Lionel Messi. Joining Arsenal truly matured the Chilean star. He went from left-wing side-kick at Barcelona to cover star at Arsenal.

In 108 games for Arsenal in the league, Sanchez has scored 53 goals, netting 24 times last season. He also starred in the FA Cup final vs Chelsea, scoring once and being named Man of the Match.

Sanchez was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City in the summer window, but has stayed at Arsenal. The Chilean joined the club for £31.7 million and has been worth every penny spent, despite his recent antics and attempts to leave the club.
