ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE has revealed the story behind his trumpet celebration.
The French marksman has enjoyed a fine start to his Arsenal career with four goals in his opening six Prem games.
And Gunners fans will be hoping he has plenty more reasons to wheel out his trademark celebration in his time at The Emirates.
Lacazette, 26 has explained how it first came about.
He said: "It was based on a bet with a friend of mine who really likes music that involves trumpets.
"It was a joke between the two of us. That’s how it all started, it was all a bet.
"I’ve just kept doing it and I really like it.
"The first time was in a friendly: Lyon against Sporting Lisbon, I believe, and then I did it in the league at Nancy."

And Lacazette has hailed Arsenal's recovery since their 4-0 mauling at Liverpool in August.
He said: "We have reorganised ourselves defensively and everyone is working together.
"I have not felt particular panic. We knew that hard work would pay off. Let's not get over-excited and carry on."
