Arsenal legend Wright tells Lacazette: Just be selfish!

Arsenal legend Ian Wright wants to see Alexandre Lacazette become more selfish.

The Frenchman was on target as Arsenal swept past Everton 5-2 at Goodison Park yesterday.

"I love Lacazette," Wright explained on Match of the Day 2. "He's a fantastic singing.

"When he stretches teams, look at Ozil and Sanchez, they've got the space to run into."

Despite his praise, Wright did admit he wanted the striker to stop helping his team-mates so much, and to focus on being in a position to score goals.

"When he gets into this situation [in the penalty area], he finishes so so well," he continued.

"I don't want to see him come and getting involved in the link up play because we have enough players that can do that.

"I would love to see him on the edge of defenders, and running into those little slots, stretching teams."
