A rising Arsenal talent has provided a valuable insight into the kind of striker Mikel Arteta will target as Alexandre Lacazette 's replacement this summer.
Lacazette, 30, is out of contract at the end of the season and he is not expected to extend his five-year stay at the Emirates. The Frenchman has only scored six goals in all competitions this season but he continues to lead the line following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's January departure for Barcelona.
Arteta clearly values Lacazette's ability to be a foil for those around him - such as Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe - and he has contributed a club-leading eight assists. Under-23 prospect Mika Biereth has explained how the Spaniard requires his strikers to drop deep and impact the game from between the opposition's midfield and defence.
