He’s at the peak of his career
Alexis is having an outstanding season, achieving double digits goals and assists over the first half of the year (17 scores and 10 assists) and he’s definitely having the best year of his career both in numbers and in performances.
Nevertheless, he’s not getting any younger and even if he’s one of the elite players in the world right now, it’s very unlikely that he can keep this pace up elsewhere while he tries to adapt to a different type of gameplay.
He has the chance to become a legend
Nowadays, Arsenal have one of the most balanced squads in the world and even if they seem to fall short on the big moments, with a couple of key additions, this team could finally achieve a title for the first time in years, with Alexis at the top of the squad.
The Chilean forward has the chance to leave his mark on the books of Arsenal’s history and become a Gunner’s legend if he decides to stay and lead them all the way to a title alongside Mesut Ozil and Arsene Wenger.
