Sportskeeda Awards: Premier League - 5 best strikers of the season

#3 Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal FC v Brighton & Hove Albion - Premier League

Alex Lacazette was one of the last signings made by Arsene Wenger during his managerial tenure at Arsenal. This season under Emery, we saw that the choice of the veteran manager was not at all a wrong one. The Frenchman solidified his center forward spot at Arsenal with his exceptional performances.

Lacazette got 13 goals and 8 assists in the Premier League season while making 25 starting 11 appearances, which ends up almost 1 goal or assist, every time he starts. His performances helped him win the Arsenal Player of the Year award this season. Lacazette and his striker partner, who we will come to in a moment, wreaked havoc in the final third. However, Arsenal was let down by their defense and they ended by finishing 6th.

Lacazette's spectacular performances have attracted eyes from the Spanish Champions, Barcelona, who reportedly want to sign him for €70 million. However, we want to see the bromance between him and his strike partner continue. Hopefully, Lacazette stays at Arsenal, and of course, help them win something.
