#2 Alexandre Lacazette – Olympique Lyonnais
The player who comes in second on the list is French and Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette. Arsenal have seemingly been admirers of Lacazette from quite some time and this may well be the season they secure his services.
The 26-year old forward has an extremely good goal-scoring record with over 20 goals in the last three seasons and would certainly be a great addition to Arsenal’s front line.
To make things easier for Arsenal, it seems that Lacazette is going to leave the French club this summer and the club who was most likely to sign him, Atletico Madrid, have a transfer ban. This leaves the door wide open for Arsenal to sign the Frenchman if he is looking for a club this summer.
Lacazette comes in second for Arsenal’s transfer targets this season, but in most other years the Frenchman would be in first place because he would be a strong addition to most sides in Europe, especially Arsenal.
