Sanchez should be ready to step up

He was signed for a big fee and much more is expected of him. This was evident in his appearances in the Emirates cup. Many fans turned up to witness the former Barcelona man play. There were huge cheers for every touch the Chilean made.

With Wenger unlikely to make any signing of another striker, Sanchez should be the man ready to step up if Arsenal is to challenge for the EPL.

Wenger believes that Alexis will mould into a player of high caliber such as Thierry Henry. It will be remembered that Wenger converted Henry from being a winger to a prolific striker.

All the best to our new man.
