Arsenal fans want Arteta to sell Lacazette and replace him with Zaha

A section of Arsenal fans are desperate for the club to sign Crystal Palace ace Wilfried Zaha to replace current star Alexandre Lacazette.

The Gunners were tipped to move for Zaha over the summer, however, they eventually brought in his fellow countryman Nicolas Pepe in a club-record deal.

Pepe has struggled to make the desired impact in North London, while Lacazette has also failed to catch the eye in recent months.

Lacazette has missed some big chances in Mikel Arteta’s first two games in charge against Bournemouth and Chelsea.

@ltarsenal shared this post on social media on Sunday, claiming the club should be looking at Zaha to replace the French forward due to Arteta’s recent tactical approach.

It received plenty of interaction, with these fans weighing in with their views.

Lacazette’s Emirates future is uncertain at this moment in time, especially with the Gunners looking like they’ll be without Champions League football next season.

So, if they do decide to cash in on the 28-year-old, a deal for Zaha could be a shrewd piece of business.

He’s got bags of Premier League experience and has been the star man at Selhurst Park in recent years, and his pace, direct approach and eye for goal could be just what Arteta needs out wide.
