Alexis Sanchez beat the likes of Harry Kane and Sergio
Aguero to scoop the Football Supporters' Federation
Player of the Year award.
Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez has been named Player of the
Year by the Football Supporters' Federation.
Sanchez has scored 20 goals for Arsene Wenger's men in 2015,
including a long-range stunner as Arsenal thumped Aston Villa
4-0 to retain the FA Cup in May.
The Chile star is the third straight player from South America to
land the prize, which was first awarded in 2013, and he follows
in the footsteps of Luis Suarez and Sergio Aguero in winning the
award.
The 26-year-old beat off competition from Jamie Vardy, Aguero,
David De Gea, Harry Kane and John Stones.
"I'm delighted to receive the FSF Player of the Year award.
Personally, it's been a great 2015 for me on the pitch with both
my club and country," Sanchez, who also helped Chile to Copa
America success earlier this year, said.
"Arsenal have enjoyed a good start to the season and it was
disappointing to pick up an injury. But I'm hoping to be back
soon to help my team-mates have another successful year."
Wenger added: "Alexis has had a great 2015 - winning the FA
Cup with us and the Copa America with Chile.
"He has made a huge impact on English football since his arrival
at the Emirates Stadium and I'm very happy that his skill, ability
and dedication has been recognised by football fans across the
country."
