Potential destination: Liverpool/Arsenal

One of the most consistent strikers in Europe in the last few seasons, it is a bit surprising to see Alexandre Lacazette still plying his trade for Lyon in Ligue 1. The 25-year-old has been in an excellent form this season having notched up 22 goals in Ligue 1 from 22 games and 27 in all competitions.

In the last three seasons, Lacazette has scored 22, 31 and 23 goals respectively while in this season, he should reach 35 goals in all competitions with ease which is an excellent figure. A number of teams in England need proven finishers and therefore, we might very well see the Lyon star moving to the Premier League in the summer.

It is as clear as daylight that Liverpool are in a dire need of attacking reinforcements in the summer and Lacazette suits their system perfectly. He is more of a complete forward who relies on his pace and dribbling skills rather than strength and aerial prowess. So, Liverpool is the ideal destination but Arsenal could also make an attempt to sign the French international if Alexis Sanchez leaves the club.
