The 26-year-old scored 24 goals in his first season in the Premier League after joining from Barcelona for £35million.
Sanchez played much of his football on the flank throughout the season and with an FA Cup trophy in his sights, he believes his decision to pick Arsene Wenger's side over Liverpool was the correct one.
Brendan Rodgers was keen on bringing Sanchez to Anfield last summer but the influence of Wenger persuaded Chile's talismanic forward to join the north Londoners instead.
“(Wenger) is a legend. He is an Arsenal legend. You learn from him every day. Sometimes we discuss about things like I would like to train more, and he doesn’t let me! But he definitely looks after me.”
"The reason why I moved to Arsenal is because there were a group of young players with the ambition to achieve things. I thought that Arsenal was the perfect club for me, the perfect club to win titles and compete in every competition.”
"The FA Cup is a competition with amazing history. We watched a video about Arsenal's previous wins and thanks to the clips, I trained with even more motivation. I hope we can win the cup so the Arsenal supporters are happy".
