The Swiss midfielder praised the forward's desire, both in training and in matches, and has talked up the importance of the club's next three games
Granit Xhaka has hailed Alexis Sanchez's positive influence at Arsenal and feels the Chile international is a role model for the club's youngsters with his impressive work rate.
Sanchez has been in sublime form this campaign, scoring 16 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions, but was recently criticised for failing to keep his emotion in check after the 3-3 draw with Bournemouth and following his substitution against Swansea City.
However, Xhaka is adamant the former Barcelona man's attitude should serve as an example to others.
