da gbg bet： Arsenal fans’ prayers were finally answered earlier this month when the club splashed out a record breaking fee to land French striker Alexandre Lacazette from Ligue 1 side Lyon.
da dobrowin： Gooners around the world had been begging for a marquee striker signing for years until the forward, who bagged 37 goals for his former side last season, was confirmed on a five-year-deal as Arsene Wenger’s second signing of the summer after full-back Sead Kolasinac.
Fans didn’t have to wait long to see the French international in action either, as Lacazette stepped out for his debut against Sydney FC in the opening game of their pre-season tour of Australia and Asia, which will also see Wenger’s side take on their Champions League nightmare Bayern Munich and fellow FA Cup finalists Chelsea.
It took Lacazette all of 16 minutes to bag his first Arsenal goal having been introduced in the 68th minute on the way to a 2-0 win and after the game winger Alex Iwobi spoke very highly of his new teammate.
“As you can see he will add goals to the team and bring good link-up play,” Iwobi said of the 26-year-old when speaking to Sky Sports.
“He’s already enjoying his time here and having good chemistry with the lads. I’m sure there’s a lot to come from him this season.”
