#1 Alexandre Lacazette’s lack of chemistry with the team

Arsenal’s club record signing may have netted two goals during the pre-season, including the one he scored against Sevilla – his first in front of the home fans at the Emirates Stadium.

2 goals in 6 games is not as bad as it looks, considering it is just the pre-season but it may have given us a glimpse of what to expect in the nascent stages of Lacazette’s Arsenal career.

The Frenchman has made a name for himself as a deadly finisher, having produced impressive numbers for Lyon season-in and season-out. However, going by how lost he looks during the games right now, it is safe to say, it will be a good while before he gets accustomed to the playing style of the Gunners and establishes a sense of understanding with his teammates.

Such is his current chemistry, or the lack thereof, with his teammates that one of my friends couldn’t help but point out, that the 26-year-old’s movement is currently only understood by Olivier Giroud at Arsenal – a man he is expected to be an upgrade on in the starting line-up.
