3 Reasons Why Arsenal Should Look At Ligue 1 Striker With 6 Goals In 9 Games

Arsenal sit top of the Premier League right now after a nifty start to the season and north London seems a happy place. However, there is a blatant lack of options up top for the Gunners, but fear not Arsene, because I have found a player who matches everything you need in a forward.

Here are three reasons why I think Arsenal should look to sign Kevin Berigaud in January.

1) Goals

The forward has six goals in nine games this season in Ligue 1. The Evian man is a natural in front of goal and would keep Olivier Giroud on his toes. The 25-year-old has 45 goals in his 152 games for his boyhood club.

2) Versatility

Although the Frenchman is primarily a striker, he can float into the wide areas and become a creative outlet. His pass completion is awful, as is his ball retention, but he can carve opportunities with his movement and energy levels.

He has made 11 key passes in his nine games this season.

3) Team player

Being French, Berigaurd will already have a natural rapport with his compatriots who are already plying their trade at the Emirates, as well as the gaffer. He’s a naturally hard-working and is always looking to invite colleagues into play, which could benefit the creative hubs like Mesut Ozil.
