ALEXIS SANCHEZ'S arrival has left the Arsenal squad "buzzing" ahead of the new campaign says full-back Carl Jenkinson.
The Gunners will step up pre-season preparations this week after the return of manager Arsene Wenger from his media duties at the World Cup.
Finally enabling the Frenchman to link up with his prized £32m signing - Sanchez.
German trio Per Mertesacker, Lukas Podolski and Mesut Ozil, however, will be given some extra-time off following their success in Rio, with a full three week break scheduled.
Arsenal are also intent on bringing in Sami Khedira from Real Madrid, while compatriot Lars Bender, who missed the World Cup through injury, is another reported target.
Sanchez arrives with a reputation as a top quality striker and Jenkinson believes he can help the FA Cup winners target more success. "He is world class and they are the sort of players you want to see at the club. "The squad are buzzing as much as the fans, because if you are going to push on as a club and really compete for things, you need to sign top players. "We have done that with him for sure - it is a fantastic addition. "He's quick and direct, he can play up front and on the wing, and he is very dynamic. He will definitely fit the Arsenal style of play."
