Alexis Sanchez is the only Arsenal player good enough to make it into my north London combined XI
SunSport columnist reveals the sole Arsene Wenger signing he thinks is good enough for Premier League runners-up Spurs
FROM what I have seen this season, Alexis Sanchez is the only Arsenal player worthy of a place in the starting XI. And the Chile striker definitely deserves it.
I believe the collective is more important than the individual and the way the team functions - rather than picking Player A over Player B.
So I've suited the players to the 4-2-3-1 system.
Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen have been the best centre-back partnership in the Premier League and I've picked Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris behind them because he commands his area and works well as a sweeper.
The Spurs full-backs of Kyle Walker and Danny Rose have been the best in the league this season and use the width of the pitch really well.

By using the full space on either flank then it also the wide players in front of them - Alexis Sanchez and Christian Eriksen - to come inside and play narrow.
Eric Dier is good at sitting in the middle of midfield and protecting the back four while also allowing Walker and Rose to fly forward.
Mousa Dembele alongside him drives forward and creates space for the likes of Sanchez, Eriksen and Dele Alli to operate.
Harry Kane leads the line because he stretches the game and that makes extra space for the three attacking players behind him.
