The French manager agreed to a new contract in May that will keep him at the club till 2019.
Many Arsenal fans were left frustrated with the Arsenal board decision to keep Wenger; with a section of the fans calling for a change of direction for a club that has struggled to mount a serious title challenge since the incredible invincibles triumph in 2004.
One of the many reasons of the gunners inability to compete for the title is Wenger’s team lacking a marquee striker.
The correct striking formula has continued to plague Arsenal ever since the magnificent Thierry Henry and subsequently Robin Van Persie Left the club for greener pastures.
Though Olivier Giroud will score goals when called upon, the former Montpellier striker isn’t realistically a world class striker that will win you titles.
Alexis Sanchez has sometimes thrived in the no. 9 role, Arsene Wenger doesn’t see the Chilean as a long time option.
So it was no surprise that Arsenal have splashed £52.7m for former Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.
The 26-year old is a proven goalscorer; banging 129 goals in 275 matches for Lyon. In the 2014–15 French league season, he was Ligue 1’s top scorer with 27 goals in 33 games.
Lacazette is expected to bring a different dimension to Arsenal’s attacking line, and with Mesut Ozil already close to agreeing to a new deal to remain at the club, both players are expected to work in tandem alongside the effervescent Alexis Sanchez.
