5 things Thomas Lemar would bring to Arsenal

#3 Directness

Lemar's acquisition would help convert more of those beautifully crafted Arsenal chances to goals

Alexis Sanchez has been such a revelation in this Arsenal side mainly because he provided the finishing touch to their passing gameplay. A lethal dribble, a speculative shot from the edge of the box, a willingness to take on opposition rather than play around them all the time – Sanchez ticked all the boxes that Arsenal had been lacking until that point.

Thomas Lemar would be another step in this positive direction. Like Granit Xhaka, he has the tendency to score an occasional screamer from long range as well. Lemar's acquisition would help convert more of those beautifully crafted Arsenal chances to goals.
