QPR coach Glenn Hoddle is keen to compare Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez with Liverpool's Raheem Sterling today.

Hoddle wrote in the Mail on Sunday: "What I love about Sanchez is his hunger. Hard work isn't a dirty word for him; he puts in a shift. He shares that attribute with Suarez and Carlos Tevez. It is as though the South American players, who have come from relatively tough backgrounds, are grateful for opportunities they have and haven't forgotten the hard work it took to get them to where they are.

"But Sanchez's best quality is his calmness in the penalty area to finish chances off - and if Sterling can learn from that, he can become a truly great player.

"The Liverpool flyer is still young - he was 20 earlier this month - but there are similarities with Sanchez in that he can get into the same positions, whether he plays down the middle or down the side.

"The next step for him is to become a finisher - do that and in two or three years' time he could end up at Barcelona or Real Madrid. He's not ready for that now, but he could be."
