Alex Lacazette has “immense quality” in front of goal and will become increasingly potent as his teammates learn to pick out his runs.

That’s the verdict of Petr Cech, who knows first-hand how hard the France striker is to stop when he gets a sniff of a goalscoring chance.

Lacazette already has eight goals for us and appears to have made a seamless transition to the Premier League. Our goalkeeper is certainly a big fan.

“Alex is a very intelligent player,” said Cech. “The way he plays the game, obviously he has adapted quickly to the way we play.

“I think we, as a team, we need to get more out of him because sometimes he makes a very good movement but the ball does not arrive every time at the right moment. I think it’s a matter of time.

“But for a player who has just come to the Premier League, I think he’s had a pretty good run. He has immense quality in front of the goal. If you see his ratio from how many shots he actually takes it’s just a matter of time before more goals will come.”
