I don’t think that is quite at the time for panic stations for Arsenal fans over our summer signing, but at the same time I think it is fair to say that Alexandre Lacazette has yet to show us Gooners why Arsene Wenger went out of his way and broke the club’s transfer record to sign him.
It could be worse, of course, we could be Liverpool and be looking at Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain like a kid who has just been given a broken toy for christmas, Lacazette has scored already. and shown flashes of his ability as a cracking finisher and a hard worker for the team, but perhaps the better starts to their new careers from the likes of Lukaku and Morata have put his transfer a little bit more in the spotlight.
So people are talking, as people tend to do, and asking why the French striker has not quite hit it off yet and what Arsene Wenger could do to spark him into top form. One of the ideas is that Alexis Sanchez may be an issue, in the way that the Chilean is showing some frustration at his fellow Gunners.
That may be simply due to our poor form, lack of fluency and league position but it may also be down to dressing room disputes, so assuming that Giroud and Alexis are not seeing eye to eye right now, we need to look at Lacazette. The summer signing has shown some flashes of brilliance and scored a few goals, but he has not enjoyed the explosive start we hoped for.
Is this because of the Alexis situation?If so, what can Arsenal do to sort it out?
