Arsenal's Sanchez is a 'killer' in front of goal - Gilberto

Gilberto Silva believes Arsenal ace Alexis Sanchez is a deadly commodity in the final third.

The Chile international scored a lovely goal from an acute angle in the Gunners' 2-1 win over QPR on Wednesday night which prompted former midfielder to speak highly of his ability in attack.

Gilberto was speaking to Arsenal's official website in readiness for Chile's international friendly versus Brazil at the Emirates Stadium on March 29.

"Alexis can be a killer in front of the goal and a nightmare for defenders but Neymar is also doing really well, he is very skilful and can make a difference with every single attack," he said.

"It is really good when you have a game where both sides have these great players that go against each other, they are very attractive and can produce the football people want to watch."
