Arsenal spent £52 million on the 26-year-old this summer.

Stan Collymore has predicted on Twitter that Arsenal fans will love Alexandre Lacazette.

Arsenal broke their transfer record this summer by signing the 26-year-old from Lyon for a reported £52 million, eclipsing Mesut Ozil’s £42.5 million switch in 2013.

And it did not take long for the French hitman to endear himself to the Gunners faithful after netting on his debut during a friendly in Australia.

He certainly knows the way to go goal, having scored 89 times during his last three seasons with the Ligue 1 outfit.

And former Premier League striker Collymore believes that he will prove a big hit with Arsenal supporters.

With that in mind, it could be argued that Arsene Wenger made a big risk in signing Lacazette, though the Arsenal manager, at 67, has been around the block and if he spends big then chances are it’s a good move.
