Alexandre Lacazette is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Arsenal and the France national team. He is known for his pace, hold-up play, and work-rate. Lacazette plays mainly as a striker, but has also been deployed as a second striker, and wide forward.
Born in Lyon, Lacazette began his senior career at Olympique Lyonnais at age 19, after impressing as a member of the team's youth setup. He initially played as a winger, but was converted into a striker. During his time at the club, Lacazette developed into a regular goalscorer, becoming renowned for his prowess in front of goal. In the 2014–15, he recorded a league high 27 goals, and won the Ligue 1 Player of the Year award for his performances. Lacazette was the subject of, at the time, a club-record transfer to English team Arsenal in 2017, when he moved from Lyon in a deal worth £46.5 million (€53 million).
Lacazette made his debut for the senior side of the France national team in 2013, after he represented his nation across all youth levels. Lacazette was a key contributor in France's victory in the 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, where he scored the match-winning goal in the final against Spain. He has since recorded three goals in sixteen additional appearances for the team.<\/P>","53F6A06F211D096A":"Lyonnais","32E266777F4D5C3EAAE5984CDAE82227":"Arsenal","52D34B1F24A26AA271F2BD571AA0152C":"0","D21B7B52C3154356":"1","156AB99B762676230C18DFFD85A3FAED":"
