14 goals and 7 assists in 21 league games is an outstanding return from a forward who was recently described as ‘jaded’ by Arsene Wenger due to the amount of work he’s putting into each match, with another two goals and three assists coming from his six Champions League outings. He is undoubtedly the best player in the English top flight right now and can easily go on to win the Golden Boot award at the end of the season.
As the Chilean scored his 14th goal of the season at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, another Sanchez anecdote made its way across social media courtesy of sports lawyer Ian Lynam, who claimed the 28-year-old was recommended to take the morning off and rest after being deemed in the “red zone”. It wasn’t long before they found Alexis in the gym apparently sprinting on the treadmill on maximum incline - wearing a weighted vest.
Those kind of stories can be heard week in, week out. It has become a running joke at London Colney as to how seriously Sanchez takes training and Alex Iwobi recently confirmed that his team-mate can be seen doing push-ups if there’s a break in one of the sessions.
“He comes out early. Everyone else is walking out to training and he’s just running out to training," Iwobi said.
