Alan Smith Backs Lucas Perez To Prove His Worth

Alan Smith’s Lucas Perez verdict…

Arsenal legend Alan Smith has backed Lucas Perez to prove to be a successful signing after the Spaniard got off the mark against Nottingham Forrest in midweek.

Lucas netted two goals in the win on Tuesday night in the EFL Cup and has finally shown us what he can bring to the team given his power and ability to finish.

Smith has backed Arsene Wenger to start Lucas against Chelsea despite Alexis Sanchez being given the nod through the middle this season.

“Although Sanchez has been playing in the false No.9 position and they’ve been picking up results, he’s definitely an option,” Smith told SkySportsNewsHQ.

Wenger has a choice to make on Saturday with Alexis potentially needed on the left-wing.
