Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has revealed that the team have nicknamed Alexis Sanchez 'Duracell'.

The Chile international moved to the Emirates from Barcelona last summer and has impressed by scoring 18 goals in 35 appearances.

It seems as though his teammates are also impressed as they have likened the 26-year-old to a battery brand.

In an interview with ESPN, Giroud said: "Alexis, we call him 'Duracell'. He allies talent and determination."

Despite his nickname, the forward has been rested numerous times by manager Arsene Wenger due to fatigue.
