Arsenal legend Wright slams Wenger for ruining Lacazette confidence

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has bemoaned manager Arsene Wenger for "destroying" Alexander Lacazette's confidence.

Lacazette has recently been outcasted by new signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and was left on the bench as the former Borussia Dortmund striker netted in their last match in a 5-1 win at home to Everton.

Lacazette has also scored just once in his last 12 games for the Gunners.

He told BBC Radio 5 live: "He (Lacazette) has played well in games, he has scored goals, but he has been taken off.

"Wenger has destroyed Lacazette's confidence".

The French international has scored 9 times so far in the Premier League this season since his £46.5 million move from Lyon in the summer.
