Alexis Sanchez

The Chilean dynamite has had a rapid rise in the world of football. His impoverished background has helped him develop a strong mental toughness that has helped him fight against all the roadblocks that have been put in his path.

From his early years in Chile, Sanchez really stepped it up when he joined Udinese. His dynamic partnership with Di Natale was one of the reasons why Udinese became one of the most dangerous teams in Italy. (Zlatan Ibrahimovic vs Alexis Sanchez)

His sparking performances took him to FC Barcelona. While Sanchez never really nailed down a starting spot at the Nou Camp his performances were often lauded by the then coach of Barcelona, Pep Guardiola.

But the arrival of Neymar saw his playing time decrease and he eventually moved on to London where Arsene Wenger and Arsenal awaited him with open arms.
