Alexis Sanchez: 'Arsenal as good as Barcelona'

Alexis Sanchez says that his Arsenal teammates are as good as those he played alongside with Barcelona.

Alexis Sanchez has paid tribute to his Arsenal teammates and claimed that there is minimal difference between them and his ex-Barcelona colleagues.

The Chilean has emerged as a key player for the Gunners after scoring 14 times in all competitions following a £30m summer move from the Catalan giants.

Sanchez, 25, has now lifted the lid on his red-hot form and says that his "quality" teammates have played a big role in his smooth transition to English football.

"My team-mates have helped me adapt. If my team-mates were not so good, then I would not have done so well. It is that easy," he told The Telegraph.

"The quality here is impressive. You only need to take a glance around [a training session] to see that. It is the same level, more or less, as there was at Barcelona.

"We do different things in training, but player for player, it is just about the same."

Sanchez joined the Blaugrana from Udinese in 2011 and helped them to a La Liga title in the 2012-13 season.
