'Alexis developed his assist potential'

Alexis’ exquisite pass for Mesut Ozil’s goal at Stoke City took him to 10 assists for the Premier League campaign.

That makes him the first top-flight player this season to reach double figures for assists and goals - he has 21 of those - and underlines what an all-round asset he is to our team.

“At the start, he was a player mainly focused on scoring goals,” said Arsene Wenger. “He developed his assist potential with us very well and now he plays in a position where he can provide as well as score.

“He’s become a complete player and has developed very well here at Arsenal Football Club. Of course, it’s an exceptional achievement and I would like to say that, to score and provide in double figures, you need to be a special player.”
