2. Alexis Sanchez
Sanchez joined Barcelona ahead of the 2011 season, from Italian team Udinese, despite interests from Manchester United. While he did win many trophies during his time at the Camp Nou, he never really established himself as a regular starter in the Blaugrana team and eventually after making 141 appearances over three seasons during which he scored 47 goals, the Chilean joined English club Arsenal in 2014.
And having moved to London, it did not take long for Alexis to show his tremendous quality and has become a vital cog in Arsene Wenger’s team over the past two seasons. However, this season has seen his emergence as a centre-forward and Sanchez has been nothing short of brilliant leading the line for the Gunners. He has scored 12 times in the Premier League, making him the second highest goal-scorer in the league behind Diego Costa. He has created the most number of chances for Arsenal and also has 6 assists to his name.
After having spent most of his time at Barcelona under the shadows of Lionel Messi, Sanchez has hit his peak and is showcasing his immense capabilities and prowess for the North Londoners this term.
