Russia international tipped as ideal backup for Aubameyang, Lacazette

The interest indicated by North London outfit Arsenal in the signing of Russia International striker Fedor Chalov has been hailed as a good one.

The Gunners have been linked with the star striker for many months and this could be the time for his arrival.

Arsenal have parted ways with England international Danny Welbeck which leaves no backup for their two strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

Fedor Chalov has therefore been tipped to serve as a backup for the two strikers, knowing that he is young and has shown big prospect.

While the summer transfer window is yet to close, it is expected that manager Unai Emery will bring a new legs.
