Stylian Petrov urges Arsenal to keep hold of Alexandre Lacazette

Former Celtic and Aston Villa midfielder Stylian Petrov has urged Mikel Arteta not to sell Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette.

The Frenchman had a lofty reputation when he signed for the Premier League club in 2017, but he has failed to live up to expectations.

The 29-year-old has scored 58 goals in 154 appearances for Arsenal, but Petrov believes he still has plenty to offer the north London club.

“I think Lacazette has the quality and ability to make the difference,” he told Stadium Astro.

“If they add the right players around Lacazette they can still see the best of him.
