Lacazette must change his game, says Arsenal legend

Former Arsenal star Ian Wright says subtle changes to Alexandre Lacazette’s game would make the striker even more deadly.

Arsenal’s record goalscorer has made a positive start to life in North London – the Frenchman has bagged five goals in the opening nine games so far.

Lacazette started alongside Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez who both made the scoresheet in Arsenal’s 5-2 win over Everton on Sunday. Gooners have nicknamed the trio ‘AOL’ after starting together for the first time.

Despite his impressive display, Wright still thinks Lacazette can improve.

‘I love Lacazette,’ he told Match of the Day 2 (as reported by Metro Sport). ‘He’s a fantastic signing. ‘When he stretches teams, look at Ozil and Sanchez, they’ve got the space to run into.’

‘When he gets into this situation [in the penalty area], he finishes so so well. ‘I don’t want to see him come and getting involved in the link up play because we have enough players that can do that.

‘I would love to see him on the edge of defenders, and running into those little slots, stretching teams.’

Arsenal have moved up to 5th in the league following the win, but have remained nine points adrift of Manchester City.
