Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: 'Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez Reminds Me Of Luis Suarez'

Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has once again lavished praise on his teammate Alexis Sanchez, claiming the former Barcelona forward "reminds him of Luis Suarez".

The 25-year-old Chilean International made a £32m move to north London in the summer after snubbing the chance to replace Suarez at Anfield.

Sanchez has since excelled at the Emirates stadium, scoring eight goals while showing an impressive hard-working attitude.

The former Barcelona star was man of the match during the 2-0 victory over Sunderland on Saturday 25 October, scoring a brace while leading the attack during Mesut Ozil's absence.

"He reminds me of Luis Suarez when he chases everything down and he makes nothing into something. He's done that for us twice today and he's scored goals at important times for us," Oxlade-Chamberlain said to Arsenal's official website.

"He's a world-class player - everyone saw that at the World Cup. He's proved that and he's played for Barcelona where we've all seen what he's done.

"He's an unbelievable player and part of his game is his character and his hard work - that's where he's got both his goals from today.

Sanchez's brace helped Arsenal to secure their third Premier League victory of the season to put the unconvincing Champions League 2-1 victory against Anderlecht behind them.

"I think we'll say we deserved the win. We dominated a lot of the ball. They came out better in the second half than they did in the first and they did make it more of an even game in the second half and maybe we didn't pass the ball as we would've liked," Oxlade-Chamberlain added.

"It's always important to make sure, when you're not passing as well as you would like, that you defend right and grind out results like we did today."
