There’s a reason that more or less every single major team are after Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez. After starring for Chile in the World Cup, the 22 year-old may well be the Serie A’s top player this season, capable of blowing defenses apart almost at will with a stunning combination of pace, guide, and finishing ability. He’s not quite Italy’s answer to Messi just yet, but the very fact that he’s on the fringes of that conversation is testament to just how good the little forward might someday be. Oh, you want evidence?
