The situation of Arsenal it is getting more and more complicated. The humiliating defeat yesterday against Manchester City without shooting at the goal and leaving the feeling of not being a team was a hard blow for Mikel Arteta’s project and for a squad that is still far from being able to compete against the big favorites to win the Premier League: Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea. And the end of the market may be even worse.
According to the information we handle at Fichajes.net, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette They have asked to leave the team after the loss to Manchester City because they feel the team is not up to what they expected as the club was looking for a center forward. The Frenchman is not comfortable in the team and it showed when he entered the game in the second half, with a face of few friends and with a couple of annoyed looks at Mikel Arteta, as we reported in the morning.
Arteta asks for a new striker
The intention of both players is to get out in this transfer market, taking into account that it is their last chance to sign a great contract and play for a team where they can play in the UEFA Champions League. The only question is the amount of money Arsenal expects to receive for both, considering that there are not many teams that are looking for a center forward in the European elite. The French if it is valued at 15 million euros.
Mikel Arteta is still looking for a new striker in this last stretch of the market. He wants a profile that more closely matches his idea of ​​the game and that can serve as a more positive leader, considering that Aubameyang and Lacazette do not provide such a record at this time. Nor do you have many options in the market to incorporate and the most likely thing is that you will have to bet on foreign players, with the possibility of looking for an exchange.
