Alexis Sánchez will join Arsenal in the first days of August and will miss the first matches of the Premier League . Last season, the influence of the Chilean in the first part was crucial, but Arsenal connoisseurs point out that Arsene Wenger's team will be able to replace the forward.
"Sánchez is an important player and if he is in shape, he will definitely be decisive. In the first matches, he won't be there, but Arsenal has players to replace him, players who can cover for him while he is not playing," stated Ray Parlour, former historic figure of the Gunners and now a television and radio commentator in England.
Moreover, the former midfielder pointed out that Alexis' second season in England could be even better than the previous one.
"I assume that if he finds his form quickly next season, he will make a lot of noise with Santi Cazorla. The combination between them was excellent. Along with Jack Wilshere, they will be the stars of the next season," he said.
