Ex-Lyon pal Faure adamant Arsenal ace Lacazette can handle rough stuff

Published on: 06 August 2017

Former Lyon defender Sebastien Faure says Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette can handle the rough stuff in England.

Faure came through the OL system with Lacazette.

He told The Sun: “Arsenal have always been accused of not being able to match teams like Stoke and West Brom physically. Alexandre certainly will — he is very powerful.

“He went out and got a personal trainer and did lots of gym work. That work paid off because he has just got better and better.

“It will take him a bit of time to adapt to Premier League defenders but Alexandre will quickly work them out. He is great at that.

“He will have no problems making a big impact in England.

“Trust me, he is a far more complete player than Olivier Giroud."
