Alexandre Lacazette combines very well with Aubameyang
The Frenchman has a great understanding with Aubameyang and is a proven goal scorer. Though he was not as prolific as his teammate last season, Alexandre Lacazette still managed to score 19 goals in all competitions. His hold up play is exquisite, while he is also a great reader of the game. The Frenchman has a tendency to be at the right place at the right time and also is an expert in bringing his teammates into play.

The Frenchman has fantastic finishing abilities and that is why he would lead the line for Arsenal.
Right Forward - Nicolas Pepe
Nicolas Pepe is a fantastic addition to the Arsenal team
Arsenal managed a coup of sorts when they convinced Nicolas Pepe to join them this summer. The Ivorian is one of the most talented wide forwards in the world and is blessed with the explosive combination of speed and skills that can torture even the best defenses in the world. In this Arsenal team, Pepe would flourish alongside like-minded players and a coach who would give him the freedom to express himself.
Last season, the Ivorian managed 22 goals and 11 assists in all competitions in Ligue 1. While the Premier League is a different monster, one can expect Pepe to have a similar impact for his new club. The thought of Aubameyang and Pepe galloping forward on the counter should make Arsenal fans rub their hands in glee.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
