#5 Alexandre Lacazette
It baffles us that despite scoring goals with regular frequency, the Lyon striker remains out of contention for the French squad. The 25-year-old French hitman has scored 29 goals across all competitions this season, a number higher than any forward selected for international duty for the upcoming qualifying games and if his numbers do not justify his selection, we do not know what would.
Many believe that France are underutilising the abilities of one of the best strikers in Europe and we could not agree more. The attacker has no significant weaknesses in his game, can link up excellently with his teammates and is a fiery presence up front for the units he plies in.
Lacazette has actually gone more than 12 months without being capped for France with his last French cap coming in October of 2015. However, he remains a critical member of the Lyon squad and continues to find the back of the net at a regular frequency. His abilities in front of the goal have made him as one of the most feared attackers in Europe and it goes without saying that his stock continues to grow with every passing match day.
