Alexandre Lacazette is amongst the most creative strikers in Europe this season due to his exploits for Arsenal in the Premier League. This could give a new direction for Arteta when identifying his ideal striker for the next season.
Lacazette hasn’t been potent in front of goal for the Gunners in this campaign. But his all-around play has had a major benefit for the rest of the squad, which has been proven by the Gunners’ surprise fight for a Champions League place with Lacazette leading the line.
The Frenchman has shown that Arsenal’s next forward does not need to be a deadly goalscorer. As long as he can create chances for his teammates and still chip in with a goal when needed, Arsenal still have the attacking capabilities to thrive.
