Arsenal midfielder Ramsey: Alexis in same class as Suarez, Aguero

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has likened Alexis Sanchez to former Liverpool star Luis Suarez.

Ramsey insists the £33million summer signing from Barcelona is in the same bracket as fellow South Americans Sergio Aguero and Suarez.

"With the South American players, it is sort of bred into them to work hard, he is no different to any of the other players like Suarez or Aguero, so we are grateful to have him in our team.

"He gives 100 per cent - everybody is at it in training all the time. We like to train hard. He works hard for the team and when he gets an opportunity to score, he scores. we are grateful to have him in our team.

"It took him a couple of games to get into it, but he has not stopped scoring since. The thing which has impressed me most about him is his work-rate off the ball. It is always nice when the team is scoring goals, at the moment, he is doing it."
