Arsenal have top-class strikers in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette. Can Unai Emery unlock their hidden potential for the club’s success?

It isn’t every day that you get to watch footballers live, let alone from proverbial touching distance. Usually, as a Canadian, I watch football on the television where the players feel distant and almost unknowable.
By a stroke of good fortune, I was in London in July 2018 when Arsenal visited Boreham Wood F.C. for a friendly match.
Borehamwood is a town of approximately 37,000 just outside the Greater London area. Off the train, it’s a straight walk up Shenley Road to Meadow Park, where Boreham Wood, Arsenal Ladies and Arsenal Reserves play their respective home games.
