Former Lyon man Alexandre Lacazette secured a move to Arsenal in 2017.

He has managed to score 41 goals in 109 matches across all competitions. This season, he has been able to find the net just six times in 22 appearances. He's also bagged two assists.

Manager Mikel Arteta is considered to trust Lacazette. It is noticeable from the fact that he has started every game under the new boss.
