It's official, Alexis Sanchez's talents are not just limited to the football pitch.

The Arsenal forward, who has been nothing short of brilliant since joining the Gunners for £35m from Barcelona during the summer, performed a lovely rendition of Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" on the piano at the Arsenal Christmas Party this week in front of team-mate Lukas Podolski, who then uploaded the video to his Instagram account.

MUST WATCH: SANCHEZ TINKLING THE IVORIES

"Was great to be serenaded by my bro Alexis!" Podolski wrote in a caption alongside the video, along with the hashtags "#Christmas #Alexis #Poldi #Bro #multitalented#serendaded".

But Sanchez is not the only player to burst into song at his club's Xmas party, Wayne Rooney was snapped serenading his Manchester United team-mates at United's party, complete with full band.

The Chile forward Sanchez has scored 14 times in all competitions for the club this season, more than double any of his Arsenal team-mates.

How they must hope he isn't really singing "Right Here Waiting" to suitors at Real Madrid or PSG.
