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>","EDBF020A791C65EC6DC356F5C22437AB":"91","5BB437CAF240E475":"73kg","44815DEA11FB577D5BF802155ED45F52BF89EAE80D401A5B":"1","EBC62A89E472008E22ACFCF9251EA2ED":"","BE541FF326E82F6A":"Neom Sports Club","5BAE2FF41BC6AD03489546EF11EAFCB7":"1991-5-28","D39E7C23A464F86D":"1","4FB95329DB27F065AB688F47FF3E7436":"2025-7-3","572BB26E7A76C211":"9167","C3DE130B7D4AB7DB":"Alexandre Lacazette","44815DEA11FB577D3ADEC3055D57C9DB":"6000000.00","1A49EE26E6AAD5C64FC6A19EFDD00C1A":"Olympique Lyonnais,Arsenal F.C.,Lyonnais B,Lyonnais U19","12F030D6FCEE9D12":"85269","7379EA3CEBE73A3F":"175cm","2278C81F60D7F1ECF170F6DDE4B76865":"Olympique Lyonnais","FD159EB5937AD12F4B2E9E75B80D3D16":"France","B6B40535701B4CD0DB864915DEF06E2A":"
