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.
