Mesut Ozil hails 'winner' Alexis Sanchez

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil says that he is delighted to be playing alongside Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez.

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has praised the winning mentality of his teammate Alexis Sanchez after a successful debut season for the club.

The Chilean joined the Gunners from Barcelona last summer and scored 25 times to help them to a third-place finish in the Premier League.

He also scored the second goal in their 4-0 win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup final, and Ozil has said that he is delighted to be playing in the same team as the forward.

"He's the type of player who is very ambitious, who always wants to win and that takes him forward," Ozil told Arsenal's official website. "You can see in training that he wants to score lots of goals and in matches he has lots of efforts on goal too. This year things have worked really well for him.

"He's scored a lot of goals - and some very important ones - for the team and we're pleased to have him in our side.

"His particular strengths are one on ones. He's agile, quick and dangerous in front of goal. He's scored a lot of goals for us this season, so I take my hat off to him."

Sanchez is currently in Chile as his country prepares to host this summer's Copa America.
