Alexis Sanchez: 'I still need to improve'

Alexis Sanchez believes that he still needs to improve despite starting his career with Arsenal in impressive style.

Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez has claimed that he still needs to improve despite his impressive start to the season.

The summer signing from Barcelona has started his career with the Gunners in blistering fashion, scoring 12 goals in 18 games.

Even though he has quickly become a favourite of the fans at the Emirates Stadium, the Chile international believes that there are still aspects of his game which he must try to sharpen.

"Little by little I am gaining confidence in my teammates and am gradually learning more," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "At first I had trouble understanding them, knowing where they ran, their movements, what gestures meant what, but every time I feel more confident.

"I am starting to memorise the moves of my teammates and I learn to help them - clearly I need to improve and that is what I say in the dressing room, that I could stay a little less with the ball, play one touch play more often to facilitate counter-attacks - that is vital."

Sanchez joined Arsenal on a long-term contract for a reported fee of £30m.
