Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confessed he is
worried about facing Nigeria’s Odion Ighalo as
Watford welcome Arsenal on Saturday, August
28th in the Premier League.
Arsenal are without a win this season and
Wenger faces an uphill task when they visit
Watford, who knocked them out of the FA
Cup competition last season.
The French man knows too well about
Ighalo and his Watford striker partner and
captain Troy Deeney, and he is taking no
“They [Ighalo and Deeney] were very efficient last
year with the two strikers up front together ,”
Wenger told his club’s official website.
“One of the keys for us will be to keep them
quiet.”
“To find a player who combines these two
things is not easy,” Wenger said.
“He’s very strong in the challenges, the
duels, and in the link play as well. I was
impressed by him last year.
“We need a first win after our game at
Leicester. Of course the international break
comes too soon because players go away
with their national teams [and] are not
ready yet to start for us yet in the Premier
League, because we had to rest them as
they’ve played in international games.
“Not everybody is up to speed completely.
We still have some players who are a little
bit behind.”
Good one Wenger. Who doesn’t fear a man from
Benin?
