Granit Xhaka has singled out Alexis as a great role model for up and coming players who are looking for inspiration.

The Switzerland international believes that our Chilean star should be a point of reference for young talents looking to forge careers of their own.

"I think I would say Alexis can be a really big role model," Xhaka said. "The main reason is because he always goes to his absolute limit in training and in games.

"I think that attitude and that application is something young players can take a lot from."
