Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says Alexis Sanchez's drive for success is inspiring for his teammates.

Sanchez is Arsenal's top scorer (20 in all competitions) and assist provider (17) this season and has established himself as one of Premier League's top centre forwards in his first season leading the Gunners' line.

Oxlade-Chamberlain told Arsenal Player: “The boys were all happy in the dressing room but Alexis came to me in the shower and he's like 'My friend are you going to score?! Oh no my friend… I passed you the ball, you have a cup of tea, you wait… and then you shoot!'

“I was just laughing like 'Yeah, sorry my friend…' He always wants assists, he wants goals and that's what makes him the player he is. He's always hungry for that and he passes that onto us all. We've got a lot of those sorts of characters in the team.

"Alexis is probably one of the strongest ones that will voice his opinions at all times. He is one of those that keeps demanding and trying to bring the best out of you."
