Alexandre Lacazette – Lyon

One place where Arsenal particularly struggled this season was in front of goal, scoring the least out of any side in the top-five – and Lyon’s Alexandre Lacazette could be the man to resolve their issues.

Too reliant on the influence of Alexis Sanchez at times, Atletico Madrid’s upheld transfer ban has given the Gunners a massive boost after Spanish outlet Cope had touted the former as favourites for a move.

Nonetheless, the Daily Mail have now reported in recent days that Arsenal are the prime destination should the 26-year-old still wish to leave Lyon, and if so then he is the out-and-out forward they’ve been crying out for.

Deadly and prolific in front of goal, scoring 27 goals in 30 Ligue One appearances as well as helping Lyon to the Europa League semi-finals, he has the pace and guile needed to succeed in the English top-flight.
