Sanchez enjoying life as a striker

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.
