Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette admits it was the presence of Arsene Wenger which convinced him about moving from Lyon.

Lacazette says a meeting with the Gunners boss was enough to persuade.

"It was really the meeting with the coach that made me want to come here, it was something I had thought about since I was little," he said.

"I had spoken about it a lot for many years with (Arsenal midfielder) Francis Coquelin but it was really all about that meeting with the coach.

"I benefit from his experience on a daily basis, especially his past and how he has worked with various strikers.

"We are always chatting about small things I can do to make little improvements."
