Writing in the London Evening Standard, Rio Ferdinand says Alexis Sanchez must go down as one of Arsene Wenger’s best ever buys at the club.
The forward was in fine form last weekend he played a key role in the Gunners win over rivals Chelsea.
He scored one and set up the other in the 3-0 victory to continue his strong start to the new season.
His goal took him to 47 goals in his first 100 games for the club, just one short of the tally that all time leading goalscorer Thierry Henry managed in the same time.

It is an impressive achievement for the Chilean and Ferdinand says it means he must be regarded as one of Wenger’s finest buys in his 20 years in charge.
“It is impressive to see that Sanchez has scored 47 goals in his first 100 appearances for the club,” he told the London Evening Standard.
“There is no doubt that with a statistic like that, he has to be regarded as one of Wenger’s finest buys.”

There is no denying that Sanchez has proved to be a smart buy for Arsene Wenger in recent years.
This season looks set to be his best yet, with him already managing four goals and two assists in six games.
That form has helped his side into third in the Premier League table, with 13 points to their name so far.
They will be hoping he can continue that form for the rest of the season as they eye a title challenge.
