Arsenal currently have worst finisher in the Premier League as Arteta dealt selection dilemma

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has statistically been the worst finisher in the Premier League this season.

The Frenchman has scored just four times in the English top-flight this term, two of which have come from the penalty spot, one of the reasons that Mikel Arteta's side have struggled for goals in recent times. Lacazette was handed the opportunity to lead the line back in December after former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fell out with Arteta following a disciplinary breach.

The former Borussia Dortmund centre-forward eventually left for La Liga giants Barcelona, leaving Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah as the only out and out strikers at the club's disposal for the remainder of the campaign - a decision that hasn't gone quite as planned for the north London club. In fact, as per Twitter account Orbinho, Lacazette is currently underperforming his xG (expected goals) at a greater than any other player in the Premier League.
