Man Utd chiefs convinced Arsenal signing Lacazette not good enough: No stamina, no impact
Posted Tuesday, July 11, 2017 by tribalfootball.com
Manchester United management believe Arsenal's record signing Alexandre Lacazette cannot cut it in the Premier League.
United boss Jose Mourinho was keeping tabs on the Lyon striker for some time before his club-record switch to Arsenal.
But the United chief pursued £75million Romelu Lukaku instead after huge doubts were raised about Lacazette.
The Daily Express quote a United source as saying: "Lacazette was followed because he was top scorer in French football."
"But a lot of his goals (10 of 27) were penalties."
"In the end he wasn't considered because he has no stamina, no physical impact and isn't a big game player."
Lacazette set the Gunners back £52m as Arsene Wenger looked to his homeland to find a 20-goal striker.
