Alexis Sanchez, one of Arsenal’s top players, turned 28 on December 19. A former Barcelona player, Sanchez joined Arsenal in 2014 for about £32 million. Playing for Chile, Sanchez has won the Copa America twice and has played in two World Cups. He even secured the golden ball during the Copa, which neither Neymar nor Lionel Messi have managed to do so far.

However, Sanchez grabbed the spotlight at Arsenal owing to his work ethic and thrilling pace. One of the most under-rated footballers in the world today, the 28-year-old has powered Arsenal to many memorable victories. His lightning-fast pace, exceptional skill and ball control makes him one of the most dangerous strikers in the world today. In just three seasons for Arsenal, he has scored 56 goals already. The energy he puts into a game is addictive and gets the team going in time of need. He can create space and make opponents dance to his tunes if need be.

Sanchez is capable of competing with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi and deserves to be among the best in the world.
