Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette had the BEST shot conversion rate in all of Europe’s Big Five leagues last season
IT'S early days, but Arsenal's signing of Alexandre Lacazette already looks to be a good piece of business.
The French star, 25, has already found his feet in pre-season - but will need to adjust quickly to the pace and intensity of the Premier League.
That said, another former Ligue 1 ace, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, wasted no time adapting to life in England.
One massive thing going in Lacazette's favour is his shooting accuracy.
In fact, last season - across all of the "Big Five" leagues, no player had a better conversion rate than the ex-Lyon man.
Lacazette found the back of the net with exactly one-third of his shots, finding the net an astonishing 28 times, from just 84 shots.
So while Arsene Wenger tentatively prepares for life without Alexis Sanchez - despite the French boss' recent firm stance - it's fair to say the Emirates front-line is still in good hands.
Arsenal's new man was the only player to shatter the 30 per cent-barrier - with Monaco's most-wanted Kylian Mbappe in second place on 28.9 per cent.
