round forward while at Arsenal, according to boss
Arsene Wenger.
Chile star Sanchez netted his 26th goal in all
competitions this season in the 4-1 rout of Stoke
City on Saturday, while his exquisite pass for
Mesut Ozil to score established him as the only
player to have double figures in the Premier League
for goals and assists this term.
The 27-year-old's future beyond the end of the
campaign remains in doubt, even though Wenger
remains confident he will sign an extension to a
deal that expires in 2018.
Sanchez has been linked with a move to
Manchester City, among other clubs, and his
manager believes one of the hottest properties in
Europe is a more complete player than when he
moved to Emirates Stadium from Barcelona in
2014.
"I think overall at the start he was, as a player,
mainly focused on scoring goals and he developed
his assist potential with us very well," Wenger
said.
"He plays now in a position where he can provide
as well as score. I believe he has become a
complete player and developed very well here at
Arsenal.
"It's an exceptional achievement to score and
provide in double figures. That is to be a special
player."
