10 Things Aston Villa Fans Need To Know About Remi Garde

2. He Turned Aleksander Lacazette Into A World Class Player

Striker Alexandre Lacazette scored 31 goals in 40 appearances during the 2014-15 season and has become one of the hottest attacking talents in Europe. He also has five goals in 12 matches this season and will no doubt be looking for a big summer move in 2016. It was Remi Garde who gave the Frenchman his chance and made him into a first team regular at Lyon and included in the international set up. Garde's ability to nurture young talent would be very much appreciated at Villa Park and his loyalty and confidence he has in his strikers could help players like Jordan Ayew and Rudy Gestede grab a few more goals.
