The France international has made an impressive start with the Gunners and is being tipped to tread a similar path to a countryman at Real Madrid
Alexandre Lacazette is “different” to Karim Benzema but can be as successful as the Real Madrid star, says Arsenal colleague Mesut Ozil.
World Cup winner Ozil spent three years alongside Benzema during a productive stint in Spain with the reigning La Liga champions.
He is now working alongside another prolific French forward, with Arsenal having made Lacazette their record signing over the signing.
That investment has been rewarded with five goals in 10 appearances, and Ozil is expecting many more to come from a 26-year-old talent who can continue to shine for club and country.
