Likened to previous Lyon striker Sonny Anderson by many coaches, Lacazette is currently enjoying his finest season at the club and has scored 9 goals and created 25 chances in 17 Ligue 1 appearances for Lyon to go with three goals in the cups. His finishing has improved drastically compared to last season when he managed 3 goals and created 34 chances.
Giroud’s goals have been threatening to dry up and Arsene Wenger will need someone who can add to Arsenal’s goal tally given that third highest scorer Walcott will not take any further part this season. The 22-year old’s ratio superior to a goal every other game indicates that he is a striker of enormous potential, and given the right support, he can become a top goal scorer.
