2. Goals from midfield
Grenier over the last couple of seasons has scored goals from midfield. He has scored 3 in Ligue 1 and one each in Champions League qualification and the Europa League, and considering that Arsenal lack a world class striker in their ranks, these goals might turn out to be crucial if Grenier does join the Gunners.
The interesting thing about Grenier’s goals has been the fact that most of them have been very important ones. Of the five goals that he has scored this season, four have put Lyon in front while it was the case for three out of the seven goals he scored last season. With a knack for getting on the scoresheet at crucial times, Lyon have never been on the losing side when Grenier has scored, suggesting his importance to the team.
