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>","72FFC7073AEDD99FBC6698239F961CC0":"2025-7-3","249186B187931B83":"73kg","B13BBD17F9E21D375893DBD6F2FC7F72":"0","50F712C5D7EA2EE5C48850A5D641D459":"Olympique Lyonnais","E630D11720E4B295":"1","F8A44A36F46FF4E4":"Alexandre Lacazette","07FC4394D7BF000AA5BFC85E2D0D6D63":"France","556D73B2C9A2AD6A1BFA53519B08D73A":"91","0FA2227E78AF1E09":"Alexandre Lacazette","809C0B5A31626463":"9167","32F0494A6A8D9C00F8184D20C089D458":"1991-5-28","B30DC6D2B47145B087D8B1C6299DD194":"6000000.00","07457F0B881B82B22AE30767A70DD3E1":"
