​Lacazette 'ice cold' in front of goals says Arsenal teammate Coquelin

Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin says that his new teammate Alexandre Lacazette is incredibly composed in front of the goal.

Coquelin has played alongside Lacazette in the French national youth teams, and he recalls that Arsenal's £52m-signing has always found himself among goals.

He said: "That is always the question when you come to the Premier League. That is the test.

"There is always a little question mark but I'm not scared. When you are a goalscorer, you are a goalscorer.

"Even at 17, he was always the same. In front of goal he's always ice cold, he always scores a lot of goals.

"When we played with the national team, he finished top scorer when we played the under-20s World Cup. His record for Lyon is incredible. He's scored so many goals over there."
