Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez says he is 'very proud' to have joined the north London club and has been impressed by the quality of his team-mates.

'I am not saying this just because it's my obligation to do it as a club player. Every Arsenal player has amazing quality,' he told the Gunners' official website before adding, 'I want to win many titles here.'

The Chilean forward has enjoyed a fine debut season in English football since joining from Barcelona last summer, netting 22 goals in all competitions so far and being nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award.

Sanchez has singled out fellow attacker Santi Cazorla for particular praise, labelling the Spaniard a 'spectacular player.'

He went on, 'You never know whether he will kick the ball with his right or left foot. Also, he moves with short but quick strides, which is a remarkable trademark too.

'Although I knew about his quality, playing alongside makes him makes me very happy.

Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League table with 66 points from 32 games, 10 points behind the pace of leaders Chelsea, whom they face next.

While the Blues admittedly hold the advantage, the title race is not over yet and Arsenal could mount a late charge.

Arsene Wenger's side have also reached the FA Cup final for the second consecutive season after triumphing over SkyBet Championship side Reading in the semis 2-1 last weekend, with Sanchez scoring both of their goals.
