Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says it may take new signing Alexander Lacazette one or two months to fully adapt into the team. For those who expect anyone Wenger spends so much money on to get firing immediately, Wenger wants them to take a chilled pill. Arsenal fans will hope it won’t take Lacazette as long as it took Yaya Sanogo to adapt – never. The French manager was however impressed by the the former Lyon striker performances in pre-season.
“Overall I think it was an encouraging performance,” Wenger said about Lacazette. “He suffered a little bit from the fact that we were a bit flat, and not dominating enough to get the service. But he was one of the few who had a positive game today.”
He also commented about Lacazette’s knack of being at the right place in the box, evident by the two goals he has scored for Arsenal so far.
“That’s him. To score goals is to be in the right place in the box when the cross comes in and he has that quality,” Wenger said.
“Sometimes it takes a few months, sometimes it takes very little time. The only thing I must say with Lacazette is that week after week he looks to adapt quickly,” Wenger said. “But overall I think it will take him one or two months.”
Lacazette was taken off in the second half, but Wenger said there was no injury concern for the forward.
