MORE SWP
More from the SunSport exclusive with Shaun Wright-Phillips, who says Alexandre Lacazette would be the perfect fit for his old club Man City.
The ex-City winger reckons Laca would slot in well under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad in a well-travelled path for Gunners players.
Emmanuel Adebayor was one striker who famously made the switch from north London to Manchester, while the likes of Samir Nasri and Kolo Toure are other famous names to have done the same.
And if it’s not Lacazette heading north, SWP thinks there are only a select few others in the Premier League who would work for Pep.
He said: “Someone was talking to me about it the other day and I said ‘for me I would sign Ollie Watkins’.
“Or even Lacazette, he knows where the goal is. He knows how to bring people into play and I always believe that when he plays for Arsenal, their front three behind him seem to play better, there seems to be more of a link-up between them.
“I think he’s like someone that helps Liverpool tick, Roberto Firmino.
“When Firmino plays with Sadio Mane and Mo Salah, there’s more space for them to run in behind because he’ll come short.
“He’ll turn and he’ll drag centre-backs with him and it creates space in-behind.
“The way Phil Foden plays, always running in-behind, Ilkay Gundogan, if Raheem Sterling plays, Riyad Mahrez, it’d just open the game up a little bit more (for them) and give the centre-backs something real to think about, instead of coming short or coming deep with that striker, they have to think about going in-behind as well.”
