Tottenham Hotspur legend Gary Lineker couldn’t help but be impressed by Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez yesterday.
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Gary Lineker described Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez as a ‘special footballer’ during the Gunners’ 3-0 win against Stoke yesterday.
The Chilean was at the heart of the action yesterday, scoring twice and providing an assist as Arsenal closed the gap on the top four.
Lineker, one of the best attacking players during his era, was left purring over Sanchez’s skill as he quickly becomes one of Arsenal’s most important attacking players.
He’s made a great start to life in the Premier League following his £35 million move from Barcelona, scoring 12 goals with seven assists from his appearances so far this season.
The main challenge for Sanchez is going to be how he reacts once sides find different ways of dealing with him.
If he can reinvent himself over the rest of the season, heading into the next campaign, he has the talent to drive Arsenal forwards towards success.
