Alexandre Lacazette has no plans to confront Arsene Wenger over his omission from the Arsenal starting XI against Manchester City at the weekend.

And according to the Frenchman's agent, the £52million striker is happy with his start to life at the Emirates.

Wenger’s decision to start with Lacazette on the bench at the Etihad - as he did during the 4-0 thrashing by Liverpool in August - has been widely criticised.

BBC pundit Alan Shearer suggested after the 3-1 defeat that Lacazette should confront Gunners’ boss Wenger, having come off the bench and scored.

Ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright added that he had sympathy with the player, who has not played a full 90 minutes since the opening day win over Leicester.

However the 26-year-old’s agent, David Venditelli, says Lacazette is comfortable with his situation and while he would have preferred to play, won’t be kicking up a fuss.

"It's not worrying, because he played at Chelsea," Venditelli told SFR Sport. "Our way of working is to make things relative: 11 matches, nine starts.

"Of course, it's not nice to see that he didn't start that match, but it was - as Arsene Wenger explained - for tactical reasons.

"He's learning. Alex needs to have calm around him. He's happy, and Arsenal are too with his work. It's not because a player doesn't play, even though it's two important games of course. He would have preferred to have played them.

"When you're outside the club, I can understand the questions. I understand, but I think Alex isn't complaining about his playing time, even if he would prefer to start games like those against City or Liverpool.

"But he talks to the manager, the staff - there's no problem. You can't, every time your player doesn't play, even if it's Alexandre Lacazette, knock on the door or pick up the phone and talk to the manager. No, no, it's not time yet. Everything is fine."
