Lacazette is surplus to requirements at Arsenal

It comes a no surprise that Arsenal produced one of their best performances of the season with Alexandre Lacazette out of the team. The French striker is a very talented player but Arsenal is not balanced while he plays especially together with Pierre Aubameyang.

With Nicholas Pepe and Gabriele Martinelli supporting Aubameyang on the wings, the team is more fluid and balanced. Arsenal might have to make a decision on the Lacazette in the January transfer window.

A goal, an assist and the man of the match award. Nicholas Pepe has received lots of criticism for his performances especially due to the transfer fee that Arsenal paid to purchase him from Lille.

However, against Westham, the Ivory Coast winger produced one of his finest displays in an Arsenal shirt to hint that maybe now his adaptation period is over and he really has arrived in the English Premier League.
