Former Lyon striker, Alexandre Lacazette, was Arsene Wenger's second last signing for Arsenal. While Lacazette was impressive under Wenger as well but Unai Emery's style of play and tactics have transformed his game to a new level.

Lacazette, in his first season with Arsenal, scored 14 goals and bagged four assists in the Premier League. But under his new coach, The Frenchman has netted 12 times and has four assists to his name. Not only has he become more efficient, but the way he drops deep and initiates attacks has impressed Arsenal fans.

Lacazette and Aubameyang are two very different strikers, and that has helped Emery accommodate them together into the starting line up. Aubameyang is a striker who gets behind the defence with ease and likes to score from low-crosses, whereas the latter is a type of striker who loves to dribble and create space in the box. He often drawing fouls from opposition defenders and earns spotkicks for his team.

Lacazette has become a much-improved player this season. Despite being benched for Aubameyang in several games, his confidence has never fallen and he has always given his best for the team and quickly become a fan favourite.
