If Every Arsenal Player Was A Pokemon

Alexis – Gengar

This is a juicy one. Back in the good old days where wifi was crazy talk, one had to trade Pokemon across a link cable. Archaic, right? Well, Haunter was one such Pokemon that had to be traded in order to reach his final evolutionary stage.

Such is the case with Alexis. A haunter for most of his life, Alexis became greatness when he came to Arsenal, evolving into Gengar and becoming a ghost on the left side of the pitch. And not a ghost like Eden Hazard is a ghost, where he disappears, but a ghost that haunts the opponent and wafts around defenders as if they were not even there.

A master of stealth, Gengar is also incredibly loyal to the right trainer. Lucky for us, Alexis has found the perfect trainer in Arsene Wenger at the perfect training ground – Arsenal.
