Aaron Ramsey has hailed Arsenal’s summer signing Alexandre Lacazette and backed the Frenchman to score ‘many, many more’ goals for the club.

Lacazette arrived from Lyon early in the transfer window for a club record £52.7million and has made a strong start under Arsene Wenger.

The 26-year-old, who turned down a move to Paris Saint-Germain before joining the Gunners, has scored four goals in seven Premier League appearances so far, and Ramsey has been impressed.

“I think he’s made a great start,” the Welshman told Arsenal’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.

“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.

“He likes to have a bit of banter as well off the pitch, so he’s settled in very well.”

Both Ramsey and Lacazette are away on international duty this week, though will be back in club action next Saturday when they travel to Watford.
