Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini rates Arsenal attacker Alexis Sanchez as the best player in England. Speaking with AS, the 61-year-old Chilean highlighted just why he thinks his compatriot is the hottest property, having provided 12 goals and seven assists for the Gunners since his £32million transfer from Barcelona last summer.

"Every game I see him making a great effort, showing great commitment, ambition and the maturity needed to keep improving year after year," Pellegrini said.

"I'm happy for him because at this time he is the best player in English football."
