Lacazette has been linked with a move to Arsenal

Alexandre Lacazette is a French footballer who plays for Lyon in Ligue 1. In the past few seasons, he has been targeted by clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool. Lacazette is the player around which Lyon’s attacking threat is concentrated. His link up play with the wingers is admirable, while at the same time he can drop into midfield to hold up play.

He is incredibly fast for a forward and has a deft touch. Although he’s not the strongest in the air, he makes up for it with his agility and pressing. Lacazette has been in hot form scoring 11 goals in 10 appearances in Ligue 1. He’s already scored 48 goals and made 9 assists in the last season, and there’s no stopping him from continuing the good record this season.

There’s one big question mark, though. Is he destined for a club like Lyon or much more? The team around him isn’t good enough to help Lyon win the Ligue 1 title. With the traits he has, he would fit perfectly into a team which has a very mobile attack and one which can counter. Teams such as Liverpool and Chelsea(under Conte) could be a good place to go for Lacazette.

At just 25 years of age, Lacazette still has his best years ahead of him and could seek a move to the Premier League sooner rather than later.
