Arsenal's Chilean wide forward Alexis Sanchez has been one of the English Premier League's best attacking talents ever since he moved to North London from Barcelona three years ago.

He has netted 55 times in the league for Arsenal and remains the league's preeminent forward.

Sanchez can play both as a wide forward and a centre-forward, which makes him a particularly compelling prospect for any team in the league. Sanchez is an all-action footballer, who can take on players, dribble past them and make something out of nothing.

On top of that, although he is often accused of being 'selfish', he has the ability to make the killer pass when he does want it and these are a skill set that is often missing from the Spurs attackers. Eriksen can make the killer pass but falls short in the other attributes.

In fact, his rumoured move to Manchester City this summer would have been perfect for the player and club but the move broke down at the last moment.

Now, such a cutting-edge talent in the Spurs attack will make it difficult to contain and although Dele Alli is an excellent young player, he is not quite as good as Sanchez can be on such a regular basis.

One can even go as far as to say that Sanchez will complete the Spurs attacking line up and can be the player who can win them games on his own when they find it difficult to break down particularly defensive sides which is a malaise that has affected Spurs this season.
