Arsenal v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League
An unlucky combination of injuries and timing

Of all the strikers who came into the Premier League this season, Alexandre lacazette must definitely be the unluckiest.

After a 48 million pound move from Olympique Lyon, he was deemed to be the final piece in Arsene Wenger's puzzle that would lead Arsenal to glory. Unfortunately for him, he arrived at a time when the club was imploding from within.

Like Morata, Lacazette's start to the season is not the worst - 9 goals and 3 assists in the Premier League. It is just not was expected of him after his unbelievable career at Lyon, where he took the world by storm by scoring 28 goals in Ligue 1 for them.

Aubameyang's arrival in the winter at Arsenal was also not the best thing to happen to him, as it meant a sharing of minutes between the two premium forwards. To add more misfortune, he was injured in the North London Derby in February 2018 and is slated to return in April.

How the line-up will change when he gets back is not fully known, but Lacazette is still a long way from being considered a good signing for the club.
