Theo Walcott says Alexis Sanchez's ability to reproduce the form that terrorised Leicester holds the key to Arsenal's success in the Champions League

But Walcott believes the former Barcelona star's scintillating display at Leicester proved he is back in the groove just in time for a crucial Champions League clash with Greek side Olympiakos today. "I am sure he is going to flourish now with many, many more important goals. It has been a long time coming, he knows that himself. But he is very pleased," Walcott said.
"He is a top-quality player and even when he is not scoring goals he works so hard for us. He tracks back and does a lot for the team."
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger agrees Sanchez is back to his world-class best. "He is back to his level. He won a big competition with Chile — the Copa America — and to adjust again to a competitive level when you come back takes some time," Wenger said. "We could see in training already a different player in the last week or two."
