Ian Wright has suggested on social networking site Twitter that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger should play strikers Alexandre Lacazette and Olivier Giroud together.

The Arsenal legend made the suggestion following the Gunners’ 2-1 defeat to Watford away from home at Vicarage Road in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Although the Gunners took the lead in the first half, the Hornets scored twice in the second period to pick up all three points from the encounter.

Lacazette started the match, but the 2017 summer signing was substituted in the 68th minute with fellow French striker Giroud coming on in his place.

Giroud, 31, has been on the books of Arsenal since the summer of 2012 when he joined from Montpellier for a transfer fee reported by The Express to be worth £12 million.

Lacazette, 26, joined the Gunners from Ligue 1 outfit Lyon in the summer of 2017 for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £46.5 million.
