Arsenal: Weekly wages of first-team stars revealed

#2 Alexandre Lacazette (Forward) - £200,000/week

Aubameyang's arrival will provide stiff competition to Alexandre Lacazette

Contracted until: 30/06/2022

Former club-record signing Alexandre Lacazette moved to Arsenal in 2017, after lighting up Ligue 1 with Lyon for 4 seasons - 3 of which witnessed him score more than 20 league goals. Moving to Arsenal accompanied by truckloads of hype, the Frenchman has simply failed to hit the ground running.

7 months later, Lacazette has only played 7 full Premier League games, and now, the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is bound to further sideline him. However, should the Frenchman decide to fight for a place in the starting 11, the greatest benefactor will be Arsenal, as a team.

Lacazette is clearly not short on talent.

#1 Mesut Ozil (Midfielder) - £350,000/week

Arsenal's very own assist king

Contracted until: 30/06/2021

One of the greatest creators presently playing in the Premier League, tales of Mesut Ozil's abilities are widespread. Ozil moved to Arsenal in 2013 for a fee of £42.5 million (which made him the most expensive German player) on the back of 3 extremely influential seasons with Real Madrid.

Since then, Ozil has become the centre-piece of this Arsenal side, forging an excellent partnership with Alexis Sanchez before the latter departed the club.

Now, the German virtuoso finds himself accompanied by attacking, flair-filled players like Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan, and if he can continue creating the way he has so far, it's only a matter of time before Arsenal are regarded as an unstoppable side once again.

Wizard!
