The kind of game Spanish striker Lucas Perez delivered against Ludogorets in the Champions League, is exactly what Arsene Wenger was looking for in a striker, something that French forward Olivier Giroud still hasn't been able to deliver. Perez has it all, technique, passing skills, dribbling skills, and most importantly, he knows when to make the right decisions. For Arsene Wenger having a player like him is key, which is why he wants him to take on a more protagonist role in the squad.
During the last match against Ludogorets, his boldness was the main reason why players like Mesut Ozil finally got to find that scoring capacity which got him to net his first ever hat-trick with the Gunners. But the main responsible for this was Lucas Perez and his capacity to share the ball at the key moments, Wenger is eager to see what Perez keeps on doing and if he can tap into this new side of Arsenal's style.
Talking to the press, Wenger said this about Lucas: "He did extremely well against Ludogorets because he came on and gave two great goals. He was a bit like the rest of the team against Middlesbrough, in that he could not have as big an impact because the whole team was not functioning as well. I believe he has the potential to be a great player for us. In training he continues to show he has the potential to play, he now has to transfer that into the games. The more he does that - against Reading he will have an opportunity - the more we will be tempted to say, 'let's do it'."
