Aaron Ramsey has hailed the impact Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has made since arriving in the Premier League from France in the summer.  

Lacazette, who signed from Lyon for a club record £52.7m, has hit the ground running at the Emirates, scoring four goals in seven games for Arsene Wenger's side.

"I think he's made a great start," Ramsey told the club's website.

"He's very technically good, he's very clean with his touches and his link-up play and he's a great finisher.

"We've seen some fantastic finishes so far from him and I'm sure there will be many, many more to come as well, so it's exciting times for him personally and for us to have him here.

"I think his understanding is pretty good so far. He likes to come a bit deeper sometimes and try to link up the play and feed players in.

Arsene Wenger says there is no hierarchy of strikers at Arsenal and insists Alexis Sanchez is happy at the club.

"He makes those darting runs in behind as well, so he's very good to play with and hopefully we can link up well throughout the season.
