Lacazette is no stranger to European competition. The Lyon striker has featured in both the Europa League and Champions League competitions for Lyon. The Frenchman has appeared on 47 occasions in both competitions combined and has scored 15 goals in these appearances. With Arsenal set for their first season in the Europa League, Lacazette’s experience may prove vital.

The French striker might be the player to take them all the way and help them push for a Champions League spot next season.
