Strange isn’t it!

Well, their new signing isn’t a surprise; Alexandre Lacazette! Yay!

His arrival has been forthcoming for a long time with Arsenal being front runners for his signature costing the club a whopping £46 Million. Finally, a statement signing made by Arsene Wenger announcing themselves as fierce contenders for the Premier League title this season.

S-O-L……..that attack:

Lacazette’s arrival has even guaranteed the first team that Arsenal does not want to sell any of their star players. This new addition may even prompt current Arsenal players Sanchez and Ozil to sign new contracts with the club. If these three line up in Arsenal’s attack next season, every Premier League defense needs to be aware of the threat they possess. With no Champions League football, the focus will entirely be on the Premier League and they could go all the way and win it. It’s the brilliance of Ozil, the desire, and drive of Sanchez and the dynamism of Lacazette, the perfect attack.

Lacazette’s Lightning abilities:

One of the fewer No.9s having lightning quick pace ✔
Excellent positional play on the pitch ✔
A threat when it comes to running behind defenders ✔
Finishes one V one chances sublimely ✔
Makes quick runs behind defenders ✔
Troubles them with his pace ✔
Finishes off all the chance ✔
A striker to be feared this season ✔

Giroud….Going…..…Going….…Gone

Upon Lacazette’s arrival, Olivier Giroud’s position is under threat. He wasn’t Arsenal’s regular starter last season but can score important goals, giving the team a whole new attacking threat. If he stays this season, Wenger can use him and use him very well, depending on the type of opposition. But for his development and making the France national squad, it would be best if he departs the club as starting games every week ahead of his compatriot in attack will be difficult.

With Lacazette, this time around Arsenal may have got their man to lead them in attack for a long time. The French connection of manager and player would be the right one for the upcoming season. He will have a fantastic first season and may even end up top goal scorer.

Arsenal fans ought to be excited; they’ve finally signed a natural 30+ goal scoring machine!
