Sanchez enjoying life as a striker
Alexis Sanchez says that he is enjoying his new role as a centre forward with Arsenal as he "can get involved in the play more" and says it was Wenger's decision for him to play there.
The former Barcelona played most of his Arsenal career on the wing until this season, where he has been employed as a centre forward. The Chilean says that he enjoys the role as he sees more of the ball than when he plays out wide.
"I like it as a centre forward because I can get involved in the play more," Sanchez told Arsenal's official website.
"I have the chance to drop deep a little bit more and that means I can link up with my team-mates more.
"[The manager] is the one who decides, he is the one who changes things around and decides where we play. He asked me to play there so I said fine.
"I looked up some videos on the internet to see how I needed to adjust my movement and I have been adapting since then".
The Chilean forward has played 15 times for Arsenal this season, scoring eight goals and making seven assists.
