Arsenal News: ‘Gunners now has a front three to rival Liverpools’-Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette & Nicolas Pepe Excite Paul Merson
Arsenal has “a front three to rival Liverpools”, says Paul Merson, with great things expected by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe.
Gunners has collected a star -studded role of attacking talent at Emirates Stadium.
Transfer items have been broken to bring proven artists on board, with the specific bar raised to $ 72 million ($ 88 million) when they acquire the Ivory Coast International Pepe during the summer.
He is relieved into the fold of Unai Emery, with Arsenal reluctant to go for swing-ho in his strategy this season, but a terrible Trident can be fielded at some stage.
If Arsenal is charging their front line, Merson believes that they will have a forward unit that matches it at Anfield of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
The former Gunners star told Day star In front of a trip to Merseyside for Emery’s page on Saturday: “Arsenal now has a front three to rival Liverpools – and they have a chance to prove it this weekend.
“I think Alex Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe could score 60 goals between them this season.
“But Liverpool’s front three of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are the ones who set the bar, and they still have the edge.
“These three are all proven artists in the Premier League while Pepe still has to prove himself here.”
Merson added to a large money supplement at Emirates Stadium that is still waiting for a first Premier League start: “I know Pepe has not yet proven here but I think he will be a great success. He sees a really good player.
“You don’t pay the kind of money that Arsenal made for him if you are not 100 percent sure he will be a top player. There are very rare players that cost so much to become a dud.
“The thing about this Arsenal three is that they have gained lots of pace – but they have also got it calm in front of the goal.
“It is unusual. When you get fast, you usually lack calm. Not these three. They all look like ice coldfinists. That’s the difference.
“That’s why I think Arsenal will finish in the top four this season. They will still fight defensively but with that fireplace they can only surpass teams.”
Aubameyang has led the accusation for Arsenal in 2019-20, Netting in both its excursions so far, but Lacazette is also outside the brand while on loan midfielder Dani Ceballos has suggested that he could be another important cow for Gunners this season.
