Ever since his debut back in 2010, Alexandre Lacazette has become somewhat of a household name in France. His rise to stardom is best represented by the fact that he’s been part of the past three Ligue 1 Team of the Season squads.

When you think of the amount of attacking talent Paris Saint-Germain have possessed over the years, the feat becomes that much more incredible. The incomprehensible Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edison Cavani, Angel Di Maria and Lucas Moura all succumbed to Lacazette’s prowess.

Not only is the striker the best player at his club, he’s heralded as one of the best in the country and soon Europe.
