Lacazette foresees perfect partnership with Iwobi






Arsenal new import Alexandre Lacazette another Alex in Arsene Wenger's squad, is hoping to strike a perfect tag team with Nigerian international Alex Iwobi when the new season kicks off in August.  The France international who scored in his debut for the Gunners against Sydney FC in continuation of pre-season shape up, had Iwobi to thank for providing the timely assist for the goal that saw Arsenal running away with a 2-0 victory.
Lacazette netted within 15 minutes of coming off the substitutes' bench to mark his arrival for a club-record fee in style.
Iwobi made a great ground down the right before squaring for the onrushing Frenchman to slot home with a low finish.
''Happy to score my first goal with my new Team !! Thanks Alex Iwobi, great assist. ’’ Lacazette tweeted.
The highly elated new arrival who joined the Emirates Stadium giants for £52 million is likely to get more time to showcase his skill as the Gunners prepare to face more teams in the pre-season tour.
Arsenal take on Western Sydney Wanderers on Saturday as in continuation of their pre-season trip to Australia.
Lacazette who made 203 appearances for his former club Lyon between 2010 and 2017 scoring 100 goals in the bargain will be hoping to continue his exploits at the Emirates.
His new found partner in progress Alex Iwobi on the other hand has made about 39 appearances for the Gunners with five goals to show for his effort. Iwobi who has been a Gunner through and through, graduated from the youth team into the senior team in 2015.
