Arsenal legend, Alexander Hleb, have insisted that new boy, Alexandre Lacazette, isn't any different from fellow forward, Olivier Giroud.
The Gunners splashed out £46.5 million bolstering their attacking ranks, with Lyon talked into parting with a proven frontman after many years of monitoring the 26-year-old.
Lacazette has settled quickly in new surroundings, with four goals netted in his opening seven appearances.
Hleb, though, is not convinced that Arsenal have acquired anything that they did not already have, with Arsene Wenger having overseen another frustrating summer on the recruitment front.
Speaking to The Independent, the former player said,“Football is a crazy world now. The market is crazy, there is just so much money involved.
“Arsenal would have wanted to sign more players but it’s too difficult to compete with the likes of Manchester City and PSG.
“The signings that did come through are good, like Alexandre Lacazette, but I can’t say that’s a ‘fantastic’ signing.
“I am a fan of Giroud and I don’t think Lacazette is better than him. I think the two are on the same level.”
