Alexis Sanchez was unveiled as an Arsenal player on Thursday night, meaning that in the last year, Arsenal have pinched one player from Real Madrid and another from Barcelona... not bad eh?

Arsenal fans will already be familiar with the versatile Chilean forward, particularly after his display at the World Cup in Brazil, as part of a Chile team that, with hindsight, will feel they should have gone further in the competition.

The 25-year-old signed for Barca in 2011, and has scored 39 goals in 88 appearances for the Spanish club.

He is also TWICE as effective as Olivier Giroud at converting chances into goals, with a rate of one goal every 3.4 shots, compared to Giroud's one in seven ratio.

With, frankly, far too long to wait until the season starts, we've compiled some Alexis Sanchez gifs for Arsenal fans to get all flappy about in the meantime.
