Arsenal Technical Director Edu has told Sky Sports that he wants to see Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Bukayo Saka, Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Martinelli all play together.
Edu made the comments to Sky Sports during an extensive interview.
The Arsenal official has said that he would love for manager Mikel Arteta to play strikers Lacazette and Aubameyang, wingers Saka and Pepe, and forward Martinelli together.
Edu told Sky Sports: “If you go up front we have Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Bukayo Saka, Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Martinelli. I want to see them playing together.”
Exciting attacking lineup
Okay, Arsenal have yet to score in the Premier League this season and have lost all three of their games.
However, it is only a matter of time before the Gunners click.
Lacazette, Aubameyang, Saka, Pepe and Martinell all are very good attack-minded players.
If they all start together, then Arsenal are bound to score a goal or two.
Also remember, these players will have either Martin Odegaard or Emile Smith Rowe in central attacking midfield to create chances for them.
Will Arteta use such a bold and attacking lineup?
Probably not.
Why?
Well, because Arsenal will simply not have enough players in defensive midfield and/or defence and the team will be lop-sided.
After all, Arsenal have not exactly looked very solid at back so far and need to sort out that issue as well.
