Former Arsenal midfielder Edu: Alexis Sanchez is the club’s best player

Former Arsenal midfielder Edu has discussed the impact of Alexis Sanchez at his former club, calling him the club’s best player.

The Chilean forward settled into the Premier League quickly and currently has 18 goals following his arrival from Barcelona last summer.

However, recent injury problems has seen him struggle and gain slight criticism from a number of pundits close to the English game.

“At the moment he is doing fantastically well for Arsenal – he is arguably their best player of the season so far,” Edu told the London Evening Standard.

“Many people say that he is one of the current top five players in the world in the position he plays in.

“He has adapted very well to English football but that doesn’t surprise me, given his talent. English football is a different style of football, especially if you contrast it with Barcelona’s unique style.

“He is very strong player too which surprises many people.”
