Alexis Sanchez’s energy and enthusiasm to win the ball sets him apart from the rest of the strikers in the Premier League

The Tasmanian devil from Chile, the man who runs on Duracell batteries, and a goal scoring machine – take your pick or even add a few other for Alexis Sanchez because every footballer on the planet wants to know what the Chilean superstar runs on.

Ever since his move to the Emirates from Barcelona, the 28-year-old has blitzed his way right into the hearts of Gooner’s worldwide and after all, where would Arsenal be without Alexis? Last season, despite injury troubles towards November, Alexis in 21 appearances covered nearly 200 km while creating 56 chances for other players!

The Chilean has been fantastic since his move and has become Arsenal’s top scorer this season while providing the most assists for the Gunners. A very expressive player, his desire to win is exactly what Arsenal have needed and ever since Arsene Wenger decided to move the Chilean further forward and experiment him as a centre-forward, Alexis has been brilliant.

The 28-year-old has been torturing defenders, pressing extremely high and forcing them to make major mistakes before capitalising and converting them into chances.

His determination to succeed and win the ball back is simply sublime and may be exactly what the Gunners will miss if the Chilean leaves during the summer transfer window.
