I can fire Arsenal to the title, declares Lacazette

Alexandre Lacazette believes he has all the attributes needed to help fire Arsenal to the Premier League title next season after completing his dream move.

The 26-year-old’s protracted transfer from home-town club Lyon was finally confirmed yesterday.

While the Gunners would only confirm Lacazette had signed on a “long-term contract, for an undisclosed fee”, it is understood to be a club-record deal which surpasses the £42.4million (€47m) paid to Real Madrid for Mesut Ozil in 2013 and could end up as high as £52million.
