The Chilean ace has been in fine form in front of goal for the Gunners, and will be hoping to continue this streak when the north London side welcome Anderlecht to the Emirates, on Tuesday

£35m summer signing Alexis Sanchez has proven to be a hit ever since moving to the Emirates Stadium last summer. The club's current leading goalscorer, scoring 10 goals in all competitions, the Chilean has already become a fan-favorite amongst the Arsenal faithful.

With seven goals and two assists in the English Premier League so far, the 25-year-old former Barcelona attacker garnered rave reviews after scoring back-to-back braces, against Sunderland and Burnley, as Arsene Wenger's men earned consecutive wins for the first time this season.

And now, as the north London club prepare to host Belgian side Anderlecht in the Champions League this Tuesday, captain Mikel Arteta praised Sanchez, claiming that the Chilean attacker “is a bull”.

"I don't think we are surprised by his performances, but we are with how he's adapted to the Premier League," the Spanish midfielder said.

"As the boss [Wenger] said, he found it a bit hard in the first few weeks but now he's found the platform, the confidence and physically he is the level he needs to be at because his game is very demanding as well. The way he's contributing to the team and the spirit of the group as well is very good.

"It makes our job easier when you have a player in his form scoring goals for the team. It's very helpful, but as well, how he looks after the people around him and [the hard work] he does in every game is something we need to highlight.

"He gets more highlights with his goals, assists and his tricks, but his hard work and his ethic in every game is very important as well.

"South Americans in England normally find it a bit hard. When you're an attacking player and people are expecting a lot from you, sometimes it's even more difficult. He's a bull - he goes again and again. That's the only secret with Alexis. He wants to get better and better. That's the way he is."
