5 best forwards in the Premier League at the moment

#3 Alexis Sanchez

Easily Arsenal's best player last season, Alexis Sanchez has been heavily linked with an exit from the Emirates. With his contract running out in 2018, a host of clubs are said to be interested in the Chilean, but Arsene Wenger has rightly been firm in not selling the hard working forward.

Capable of playing as a false 9, striker or as a winger, Sanchez with his energetic and tenacious displays almost single-handedly kept Arsenal in the race for a top 4 finish. Winner of Arsenal's Player of the Season award, Sanchez scored and created plenty of goals for the Gunners and truly established himself as a world class forward last season.

A player of Sanchez's calibre and skill definitely deserves to be playing in the Champions League and challenging for top trophies and it is upto Wenger and the Arsenal board now to convince the Chilean superstar of their ambition for the 2017/18 season.
