Coquelin confident 'ice cold' Lacazette will maintain prolific strike rate at Arsenal

The Gunners have spent big to bring in a proven goalscorer and the France international is being backed to deliver the goods in the Premier League

Alexandre Lacazette is “ice cold” in front of goal and capable of maintaining his prolific strike rate in the Premier League, says Francis Coquelin.

The Gunners broke their transfer record to acquire the France international striker from Lyon, with a £46 million deal put in place for a man who had registered on their radar for some time.

Arsene Wenger made his move after seeing the 26-year-old impress over a number of years in his homeland, with the 20-goal barrier broken in four successive seasons.
