Arsenal boss Wenger coy over starting Lacazette against Spurs

Published on: 16 November 2017

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is reluctant to confirm Alexandre Lacazette will start against Tottenham on Saturday.

Lacazette goes into the game on the back of a brace for France in their 2-2 friendly draw against Germany.

"I have a big choice to make every time, big decisions to make up front," said Wenger.

"But he's played many games, Alexandre Lacazette. He didn't play away from home at City, I think that's the only game he didn't start [along with Liverpool]. I trust him completely."

On if Lacazette will start on Saturday, Wenger added: "The decision is not made yet but it's a possibility because he's available."

Meanwhile, Wenger also said the game must do more to attract young people to live games.

"I think nothing is better to share the experience of a stadium, inside a stadium and there are many ingredients now in the modern game that could incite people not to go so much. First of all the lifestyle is a bit different, they play less, they play more on computers, that is a bit more an individual experience than a collective experience, playing with your partners is collective, playing on the computer is more of an individual experience.

"After that you have the fact that the security in gathering people is a problem as well in the heads of many. After, can you afford as well to go to the stadiums? When you are young you that's not always easy so there are many ingredients we need to take care of in the game."
