Paul Merson claims Willian 'looks lost' at Arsenal and is a shadow of the player he was at Chelsea last year... and ex-Gunners midfielder also insists opposition defences have worked out star forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Paul Merson has claimed Willian is 'looking lost' at Arsenal while also expressing concern that opposition sides have figured out how to play against star forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Willian, 32, arrived on a free transfer from Chelsea in the summer but has failed to score or record an assist across all competitions since setting up two goals on the opening weekend of the season in the win at Fulham.

The winger's struggles have coincided with many of Arsenal's other forwards misfiring, with captain Aubameyang netting just two league goals this season and fellow striker Alexandre Lacazette failing to score in any of his last six games.
