buy cheap football kits Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has spoken very candidly about Arsene Wenger’s management of Alexandre Lacazette.The highly-rated French striker became Arsenal’s club-record signing in the summer, joining from Lyon for £52m.Lacazette has managed only nine goals in 25 Premier League appearances and he appears to have lost his place in Arsenal’s starting XI.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was signed from Borussia Dortmund for £56m and he was chosen ahead of Lacazette for Saturday’s 5-1 win over Everton.The pacy Gabonese striker looked lively alongside former teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan and capped his debut with a wonderfully taken goal.It didn’t go unnoticed among Arsenal fans that Aubameyang played the full 90 minutes, despite a chaotic January spent in Germany.Lacazette had been substituted by Wenger in 15 of his 22 Premier League starts.It did seem rather harsh on Lacazette, who was not called upon from the bench.What Ian Wright said about Wenger and LacazetteWright – who is now a regular feature on the BBC – was once Arsenal’s all-time top scorer before Thierry Henry broke his record.The 54-year-old pundit last week criticised Wenger’s decision to sell Olivier Giroud to Chelsea – and now he’s criticised the French manager’s mis-management of Arsenal’s summer signing.
“He [Lacazette] has played well in games, he has scored goals, but he has been taken off,” Wright told BBC Radio 5 Live, as per The Sport Review.“Wenger has destroyed Lacazette’s confidence.”He’s made a valid point – although his opinion divided Arsenal fans on social media.On Friday, Wenger was asked by a reporter if he could reassure Lacazette that he would remain a key figure in north London.“I don’t reassure people,” Wenger told press ahead of Arsenal’s game with Everton.“We are in a competitive world. We have all chosen a job where it’s about competition, you have to fight for your places.
“You have to show the players respect and that you rate them but as well, they have to accept that we live in a competitive world.”Aubameyang is ineligible tottenham baby kit to play in the Europa League so Lacazette may have to accept being back-up in the league.
