8. Alexis Sanchez – Arsenal
The Chilean winger was last summer’s signing of the season – ending his debut campaign in north London with 23 goals and nine assists – including a stunning 25-yard strike in the FA Cup final last month.
The former Barcelona forward is expected to be even better in his second campaign at the Emirates after a year of settling into the Premier League. Arsenal, having posed a significant threat to Chelsea’s position at the top of the table after the festive period, will be out to threaten the title again, and Sanchez could be key.
