Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is happy with his start to life at the club, according to his agent.
David Venditelli, Lacazette’s representative, says that the forward is not concerned by being on the bench at times and is not angry at Arsene Wenger for benching him.
Wenger caused commotion after he left the club-record signing on the bench against Manchester City at the weekend.
Arsenal traveled to The Etihad and played Alexis Sanchez up front, as they went on to lose 3-1.
Lacazette came of the bench and scored Arsenal’s consolation goal, which birthed the question: why did he not start?
The French striker, signed from Lyon in the summer, has started nine Premier League games this season – scoring six goals.
He has had an impressive start to life in England, despite the murmurings in the background.
Speaking to SFR Sport, Venditelli said this:
He’s learning. Alex needs to have calm around him. He’s happy, and Arsenal are too with his work. It’s not because a player doesn’t play, even though it’s two important games of course. He would have preferred to have played them.
When you’re outside the club, I can understand the questions. I understand, but I think Alex isn’t complaining about his playing time, even if he would prefer to start games like those against City or Liverpool.
But he talks to the manager, the staff – there’s no problem. You can’t, every time your player doesn’t play, even if it’s Alexandre Lacazette, knock on the door or pick up the phone and talk to the manager. No, no, it’s not time yet. Everything is fine.
