London's "Arsenal" defender Mathieu Flamini does not spare praise for the team's newcomer Alexis Sanchez and compares him to former "Gunners" leaders Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie.
A. Sanchez joined the London team last summer, leaving "Barcelona" for 38 million euros. This season, the Chilean has already played 15 matches and scored eight goals.
"From what we have seen so far, he is on the same path as Henry and Van Persie," said M. Flamini. "He has proven that he plays in every match not only for goals, but also for the overall team effort."
"Alexis is a breath of fresh air. He brings so much to the team, not only in terms of attack. Sanchez performs his duties excellently both in offense and defense," added the defender.
After 9 rounds in the English Premier League, Arsenal are in fifth place.
