5 reasons why Arsenal have a shot at winning the EPL this year 

#2 They’ve finally bought a clinical striker

Alexandre Lacazette 28 goals in 30 Ligue 1 games

For years upon years, the Arsenal faithful have cried out for the boss to replace the goal scoring hole that Robin van Persie left behind. Back in 2012, Arsenal sold their top scorer in Van Persie and replaced him with Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski, however, neither were able to replicate the form of the Dutchman. Neither of those are as clinical as the Dutchman.

Now Arsenal have broken their club record to sign a man that is synonymous with goal scoring.

Last season, no player who had scored 20+ goals in Europe’s top 5 leagues had a better conversion rate than Alexandre Lacazette. The Frenchman scored 33.3% of the shots he took last year, a better rate than both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
