For a striker who has scored 6 goals in 9 starts in the Premier League, it is surprising that there is little to no talk about Alexandre Lacazette's exploits this season. The striker has been in good goalscoring touch this season and is a crucial part of Arsene Wenger's side.

The former Ligue 1 player of the year has made substantial contributions to Arsenal so far this season, and fans will be hoping that he takes it up a notch in games to come. Lacazette's form also seems to be improving, as evidenced by his 2 goals against a solid Germany defence in what was arguably his best match for France.

The former Lyon hitman has had an excellent 2017, scoring 30 goals in all competitions so far for club and country. His best performance for Arsenal was against West Bromwich Albion, in which he scored 2 goals to secure 3 points for his side.

Competition for the striker's role is fierce at Arsenal, with Olivier Giroud, Alex Iwobi, Danny Welbeck and Lacazette himself vying to start for the team alongside Alexis Sanchez. The Frenchman has done well for himself and the team so far, and can potentially play a crucial role for Arsenal in the coming seasons.
