Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claims Alexis Sanchez has the potential to rival Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the world's greatest players.
Sanchez outlined his belief that he should be talked about in the same bracket as the Liga superstars while on international duty with Chile this week.
The former Barcelona man said: "I have reached a level where I can compete with great players. I do not feel inferior to anybody.
"I liken [my qualities] to Messi and Ronaldo. I have the same abilities as them."
Wenger partially backed Sanchez's claim, although he also stressed the forward needs to improve his consistency if he is to reach their level.
