Alexandre Lacazette’s recent comments about leaving the club in order to play Champions League football have led to sections of the Arsenal fanbase calling for Alexandre Lacazette to be isolated from Mikel Arteta’s squad for the rest of the season. However, this would seriously hamper Arsenal’s top-four push as Lacazette is our best-attacking option.
Arteta can take inspiration from Thomas Tuchel on how he reintegrated Romelu Lukaku back into his team. The Belgian also released a controversial interview, which was similar to Lacazette midway through the season.
The Gunners are extremely short in the strikers' department, and removing Lacazette as an option will all but confirm Arsenal’s failure to make the top four. Eddie Nketiah hasn’t got the quality to lead a side to a Champions League place, so it is important that Arteta finds a solution similar to how Tuchel did.
