5 things Thomas Lemar would bring to Arsenal

#5 Suitability for Wenger's gameplay

It would be a seamless transition from a free-scoring Monaco side for Lemar

A bit in contrast to his prima facie direct style, Lemar has expressed his view that he prefers to link up with team mates, rather than take on defenders. "I am trying to avoid duels and concentrate on passing and movement as much as possible."

It evokes the memories of Alexis Sanchez during his first 2-3 games for Arsenal. He seemed out of tune with the rest of the side, taking too long on the ball, out of sync with the moving patterns of his teammates....but eventually the striker adapted to the team's gameplay; and likewise, the team adjusted their approach to accommodate Sanchez.

If he wants to "concentrate on passing and movement as much as possible", what better place to be than at Arsenal? With his skillset of quick feet, even quicker thinking, work rate, pace and versatility, he is perfect for "Wengerball", if you will – and it would be a seamless transition from a free-scoring Monaco side.
