Ozil anxious to play with “ice-cold” Lacazette

Arsenal playmaker, Mesut Ozil, has admitted he cannot wait to play alongside his new team-mate, Alexandre Lacazette.
Lacazette overtook Ozil as the Gunners’ most expensive player in a deal worth up to £52 million and the German is itching to link up with the former Lyon striker.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” Ozil told Arsenal Player.
“He’s a very good striker who has scored many goals in Ligue 1, not just this season but in previous seasons too. We’re really happy to have such a class striker here with us.
“From what I’ve heard, he’s meant to be very good, always hungry for goals and ice-cold when he gets into a scoring position. My friends who follow the French league know him well and have told me that I’ll definitely have fun with him on the pitch.

“I hope that he’ll be able to take us further with his goals. I’m sure he’s happy to be here and to be able to play with us, and we’re pleased to be able to assist him and help him to score as many goals as possible.”
Lacazette scored 113 goals in 183 club games over the last four seasons in Ligue 1.
