Alexis Sanchez "surprised" by quality of Arsenal teammates

Alexis Sanchez reveals that he is "very proud" to call himself an Arsenal player, although he admits to being left feeling surprised by the quality of his teammates.

Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez has admitted that he was surprised by the quality of his teammates upon joining the club last summer.

The Chile international made a switch to the Emirates Stadium from Barcelona in a deal worth around £35m.

Sanchez has enjoyed an impressive debut campaign in English football, which has seen him find the net 22 times in his 46 appearances, and he insists that he has no intention of leaving North London any time soon.

"When I arrived at the club I didn't know the players that well, but I was really surprised by everyone's quality," the Daily Star quotes the 26-year-old as saying.

"I am not saying this just because it's my obligation to do it as a club player. Every Arsenal footballer has amazing quality. Being part of a team like this makes me very proud. I am willing to win many titles here."

Sanchez bagged a brace against Reading at Wembley in his last outing to help the Gunners book their place in the final of the FA Cup.
