fellow striker Olivier Giroud.

“I am a
fan of
Giroud
and I
don’t
think
Lacazette is better than him. I think the two are on
the same level.”
Hleb fears Arsenal can no longer compete with the
likes of mega-rich clubs Manchester City and Paris
Saint-Germain in the transfer market.
“Football is a crazy world now,” Hleb added. “The
market is crazy, there is just so much money involved.
“Arsenal would have wanted to sign more players but
it’s too difficult to compete with the likes of
Manchester City and PSG.”
