Alexandre Lacazette was already held in high regard before he went and scored 31 goals in the 2014/15 season. The France front man has scored 42 goals in his last 67 Ligue 1 games, and has been linked with Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal in the current transfer window. 

Similarly to Aubameyang, Lacazette is known for his movement, as well as his composure in front of goal. Arsenal have had a mixed bag when it comes to signing players from Ligue 1, but you'd have to feel Arsene Wenger is interested in a 24 year-old compatriot who scored 27 league goals in 33 league games last season. 

Should he keep up his form in the Premier League, Lacazette's goals could fire Arsenal back to the top of the table in no time.
