IMO Alexis is not the kind of player who would work well in Arsenal. He lacks footballing Intelligence which is a must in Arsenal and tries to cover it with a lot of hard work, dynamism, decent finishing and a hunger which makes him run like a horse for all 90 minutes. As a side effect Arsenal's fluidity is lost.
That is the reason we take more chances to score a goal. His Less Intelligent Dynamism ( along with Ramsey's, and AOC's(centrally) and walcott's to an extent) stops Arsenal's fluidity in moving the ball to the final fourth. This gives a lot of time for opposition to get back and scoring the goal gets more difficult and blame falls on Giroud, Walcott.
I think we should pounce on the opportunity to sell him if we can upgrade him with a better player and only one name comes to mind: Griezmann.
