Enter Alex Iwobi. After graduating through the clubs academy, the 21-year-old eventually broke into the first team playing 26 Premier League games and scoring three goals, last season.

"I really like Alex [Iwobi]," Sanchez told the clubs official website via Mirror.

While praising his versatility, "He's a player that can play up front, in the centre, he's good at one on ones."

Sanchez pin-points his 'winning mentality' and believes he can become a great.

"If he has a winning mentality and keeps pushing forward I think he can do very well. I really like him."

Iwobi has become an important player for Wenger and will look to continue his fine run of form in the 2017/18 season.

Arsenal managed to somewhat salvage their disappointing 2016/17 season by lifting the FA Cup, pipping Chelsea to a league and cup double.

The Gunners will be without Champions League football as they enter into unfamiliar territory by playing in the Europa League.

Meanwhile, will Sanchez still be at the Emirates come next season?

His decision to stall on signing a new contract has alerted clubs all around Europe with Pep Guardiola hoping to reunite with the Chilean ace at City following their stint together at Barcelona.
