Thierry Henry recently hinted that Arsenal lifting the Premier League title with Olivier Giroud spearheading the lineup is a Herculean task and Arsene Wenger seems to be in agreement with his compatriot as he is now reported to be keeping tabs on Alexandre Lacazette to launch an all-out attack at the title next season.

The Lyon marksman has made himself undroppable at Olympique Lyonnais, having found the back of the net twenty six times in thirty outings.

Not only has the 23-year-old earned plaudits for his dynamic contribution in the attempts of the French outfit to dethrone Paris Saint Germain, but has also attracted interests from the European heavyweights including Manchester City and Liverpool.

Olivier Giroud has been a personage in the Gunners team-sheet this season maintaining a goal-per-game ratio of 0.64, but as Thierry Henry put forth, despite his goal-scoring form, does not suffice for a crack at the Premier League title.

Arsene Wenger, according to Italian media, has set his sights on the French international to bolster his side next season.

At a tender age of 23, he has ten more footballing years under his belt and given his goal-scoring prowess, the Gunners need not worry about a striker signing for the years to come, if their attempt to land Alexandre Lacazette comes to fruition.

Lacazette is quick and powerful. Hi is lethal in front of the goal mouth. As he is still very young he has got some ten years of quality football to offer to the team(just like Thierry Henry was when he joined Arsenal) .He will find it easy to adapt to the environment as he will be surrounded by a significant number of French players. Arsene should not hesitate to bring him to the Emirates Stadium should the opportunity arise. Christian from Mauritius.
