Arsenal's legend and record goal scorer Thierry Henry believes new
record signing Alexandre Lacazette will turn out to be a huge player
for the club.
The 26 year old arrived from Lyon for a club record fee of £46m. He
made his competitive debut in the victory over Chelsea in Sunday's
Community Shield, as he came close to opening his account by hitting
the post.
He had reputation as a consistent goal scorer in France with Lyon. And
Thierry Henry expects him to reproduce that form with Arsenal with
better players around him.
"I'm a big fan of him. I saw him playing for a long time in the French
league and in the youth team. He was always a talent that everyone was
waiting for him to grow into, and to be fair he did, he's been scoring
goals every season." He said on Sky sports
"[Lacazette] has a different game to Giroud, which I think is good
because you need different types of strikers.
"He did it in the French league and people might say it's a different
league but, with due respect to Lyon, he'll also be with better
players. I'm backing him to have a good season.
"But rotation will be key. Sometimes you'll need Giroud or even
[Alexis] Sanchez in the middle and sometimes you'll need [Danny]
Welbeck or [Theo] Walcott, whoever will have an impact.
"You're waiting on Lacazette to have an impact with the fee, I know
you shouldn't mention that, but that's how it is nowadays."
