The France international is being backed by a World Cup-winning countryman to make more of an impact with France after moving to the Premier League
Alexandre Lacazette’s record-breaking £46 million move to Arsenal will give him “more credibility” with France, says Youri Djorkaeff.
Despite being heavily linked with a big-money move for a number of years, the 26-year-old has waited until 2017 before taking the transfer plunge and making a move to England.
He arrives at Emirates Stadium with a reputation as a prolific frontman, but one that is untested outside of the comfort zone of his homeland.
