Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette Slams English Fans & Claims Stadium Atmosphere Is Better in France

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has revealed he misses the atmosphere of games in Ligue 1 and believes France's top flight fixtures have a greater aura than Premier League matches.

France international Lacazette is currently in deadly form for the Gunners, having scored three goals in his last three league games, and the 27-year-old says games in England do not have the same atmosphere as those in his homeland.

"I miss Ligue 1's atmosphere," Lacazette told Le Progres. "In England, the fans are more spectators than supporters. There's a better atmosphere in French stadiums."

In his most recent Premier League outing, the former Lyon striker helped silence Craven Cottage when Arsenal ran out 5-1 winners against Fulham, with Lacazette scoring twice before strike partner Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came off the bench to grab a brace as Aaron Ramsey also netted.
