Arsenal have had great players in the past but there have always been certain players who have stood out for the Gunners. Thierry Henry in the past and Robin Van Persie more recently have been stars that have shone for Arsenal. While Mesut Ozil is a world class players, it is Alexis Sanchez that stands out in this Arsenal team.

The Chilean has proved his versatility this season in the number 9 role.

Not only has Sanchez’s partnership with Ozil gotten better with time, the Chilean has managed to perform week after week consistently, something that he lacked last season partly due to injuries.

Sanchez has created chances and scored goals this season but his work rate is what stands out. His tireless work ethic is Arsenal’s biggest weapon and the forward is an early favourite for the PFA player of the season.
