Arsene Wenger warns of "very exciting" Alexis Sanchez

Arsene Wenger has promised Arsenal fans to expect "very exciting" things from Alexis Sanchez as he continues to adapt to life at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners' £35m man was given his first taste of English football in Arsenal's 3-0 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday.

Sanchez was replaced at half time by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and, although Wenger admits that the Chilean was not "completely ready", the Frenchman claims that there is plenty more to come.

"Alexis [Sanchez] looked very exciting, very lively but not completely ready yet," he told the club's official website. "He will be very exciting.

"It was a very good game. I think we started very well, we had a great first half with a lot of variation in our attacking and a lot of togetherness in our defending."

Goals from Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud ensured that the North Londoners secured their first bit of silverware of the new season.
