Former Lyon man Alexandre Lacazette secured a move to Arsenal in 2017. Despite playing alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the 28-year-old is yet to establish himself as one of the heavyweights of the game. He has managed to score 41 goals in 109 matches across all competitions. This season, he has been able to find the net just six times in 22 appearances. He's also bagged two assists.

Manager Mikel Arteta is considered to trust Lacazette. It is noticeable from the fact that he has started every game under the new boss. Midfielder Mesut Ozil also had a sub-par performance at Turf Moor as the German international is yet to assist away from Emirates in the Premier League since January 2018.
