Alexandre Lacazette is a sharp, hard-working French striker who made his name at Olympique Lyonnais, the club of his youth, where he developed into one of Ligue 1’s most reliable marksmen. Clever movement and clinical finishing turned him into a prolific scorer and a symbol of the club’s academy.

A move to Arsenal followed, where he led the line with intelligence and generosity before returning to Lyon to captain the side he came through, adding to an already substantial goal tally.
