Alexandre Lacazette assures Arsenal fans: Goals will flow

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is confident he'll score regularly in the Premier League.

The Gunners spent £52m to sign Lacazette from French side Lyon and the 26-year-old scored on his Premier League debut earlier this month.

Ahead of today's clash against Liverpool, Lacazette told Sky Sports: “I'm going to try to score lots of goals. No, I am going to score.

"I'm going to score goals at key times in the games where the team may have struggled in previous years.

"This season I'm going to help this team win them and that's what Arsenal have to do: win games and trophies.

"As a No. 9, I have to be there to score goals, but that isn't the only thing. I also participate in the build-up and help my team-mates, but, above all, it's about scoring goals.

"There are games where the striker will be useful for the team in terms of creating space and being involved in the game, without necessarily scoring, but he'll have played an important role for the team.

"But, of course, over the course of a season I have to score goals as that's what statistics reflect."
