Aaron Ramsey: 'Alexis Sanchez no different to Luis Suarez, Sergio Aguero'

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey believes that Alexis Sanchez has the same work ethic as fellow South American stars Luis Suarez and Sergio Aguero.

The former Barcelona forward, who signed for the Gunners in the summer, has scored 12 goals for the North London outfit so far this season.

Ramsey believes that the Chile international has a number of similarities to Suarez, who is regarded as one of the world's best strikers, and Manchester City's Aguero, who is in scintillating form.

"With the South American players, it is sort of bred into them to work hard - he is no different to any of the other players like Suarez or Aguero, so we are grateful to have him in our team," Ramsey told reporters.

"He gives 100 per cent - everybody is at it in training all the time. We like to train hard. He works hard for the team and when he gets an opportunity to score, he scores."

Arsenal are eighth in the Premier League table after 12 games.
