Despite being predicted to miss the beginning of the new season due to his late involvement in the Copa America tournament for Chile, Alexis Sanchez was quick off the mark to tweet his support to his teammates.

Shortly after the 1-0 win against Chelsea in the Community Shield on Sunday, the 26-year-old tweeted about his pleasure at the team winning another piece of silverware, claiming he wants more.

The forward scored 25 goals for us in his first season as a Gunner and, if he can improve on this next season, I reckon his wish will come true.
