„Manchester City“ manager Manuel Pellegrini named London "Arsenal" forward Alexis Sanchez as the best footballer in England, who had a great start to the season.
In the summer, the Chilean joined the "Gunners" for 41 million euros and scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season. He also scored a goal in a match against "City".
The coach of the English champions had previously said that Sergio Aguero, representing his team, is one of the best forwards in the world, and now he praises Sanchez.
„In every game, I see him trying his best and being highly dedicated. He shows the ambition and maturity necessary for constant improvement“, Pellegrini told AS.
„I'm happy for him, as he is currently the best player in England.“
„I always thought he would become a top-class player. The only thing he could be criticized for is not scoring many goals. He wasn't a true striker, but he has greatly improved his game over the past two seasons.“
Pellegrini's team will face the "Gunners" this Sunday.
