The Gunners new African star got a big billing before the campaign, but the season hasn’t begun well for the Londoners
One of the key talking points for the African Football HQ team ahead of the new season was the excitement and anticipation for the campaign ahead for Arsenal’s African stars.
As well as heavyweights Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Nicolas Pepe and Thomas Partey, the Gunners have also recruited Albert Sambi Lokonga, while Folarin Balogun is expected to have a big part to play this term after signing a new contract in April.
There was much to be excited about, but it’s fair to say that things haven’t gone to plan during the first two matches of the season.
