Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka is keen for Alexis Sanchez to stay at the club, but understands that he is good enough to play in "every world team".
The Chile international has been heavily linked to Bayern Munich, who are believed to be willing to match the £300,000-a-week wages offered by Arsenal.
Sanchez's future has been uncertain since the start of last season when he failed to agree a new contract at the North London outfit.
"I hope [he doesn't leave], of course," The Mirror quotes Xhaka as saying. "He has qualities on the pitch which are incomprehensible. He has made many goals, and is also enormously important outside.
"Alexis can play with every world team, just like Mesut Ozil. I have been able to play with many great players, but these two stick out."
Sanchez scored 30 goals and registered 13 assists in all competitions for the Gunners last season.
