The Confederations Cup kicked off last week in Russia and with it came a reminder as to what a class player Alexis Sanchez is. Would be suitors will surely be taking notice as Sanchez put himself on the shop window in his two appearances for his national side. The Chilean front man came off the bench to inspire Chile to a 2-0 win over Cameroon in the first game. More importantly Sanchez became Chile's record goal scorer in the second group game.
Watching Sanchez one can't help to spot how much of a quality player he is: he's got a good range of passes, blistering pace, his ball control and dribbling ability is only matched by a few, his eye for goals and his versatility would make him a hot commodity in the transfer window. All in all he is a technically sound player with attributes that befits him plying his trade for one of Europe's glamour clubs. His performances in recent seasons at Arsenal is prove of all this. Even though he scored 30 goals for Arsenal last term, Arsenal had one of their more disappointing seasons and Sanchez looks out of place at a club like Arsenal.
Alexis Sanchez looks every bit a championship winning player if you were ever looking for one, despite this there has been very little joy for the Chilean at Emirates save for last season's FA Cup win over Chelsea.
That considered, Sanchez has every good reason to seek a move to a more ambitious side with the likes of Bayern Munich and league rivals Manchester City courting his signature. Both sides will offer the Chilean to compete for top honours and not to mention the financial incentives that come with playing for either one of these giants.
But more importantly though it will allow Sanchez to be in the company of winners just like himself, oppose to having to toil away in mediocrity doing the bare minimum just to have a seat at the big boy's table when he could very well be one of the big boys.
