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>","3DD52A7123843A0599BD59EBE6AB4E97":"Olympique Lyonnais","1E9A8D352C52FB60DE0D25B327F8FD01":"2025-7-3","F9622CC2808B37CB":"73kg","289C5F85E5EE1B609E88960AAED5C65D":"1991-5-28","DF03820F537F8E7C95F8F8605BCB052C":"France","DAF09C52CF6076BD5E585110E27D1A5D":"6000000.00","76E5DE99890AB189":"175cm","70356B8F0C59F6B5":"9167","92D102DDE1327A88":"Alexandre Lacazette","FD1933E1882D5E7A216F21827D2B22B4":"","B628C0FB460378A51A233D645651DF2F":"
