Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has revealed he gets regular advice from club legend Thierry Henry.

Signed from French outfit Lyon in the summer for a transfer fee of £46.5 million, Lacazette has had a mixed first season in England with the Gunners.

His maiden Premier League campaign has been blemished by a loss of form and injuries, but the France international has still managed to score 12 goals in 31 games in total, including 10 goals in 27 Premier League games. NaijaBet.com

However, the last two matches have seen Lacazette score three time – he netted two goals against CSKA Moscow on Thursday evening in the Europa League – and many believe he is slowly rediscovering his form.

A man who never struggled with form while at Arsenal was club legend and all-time top-scorer Thierry Henry, who Lacazette has admitted contacting on a regular basis for help and advice regarding how to adapt to English football. NaijaBet.com

Speaking with reporters, according to Goal, Lacazette said: “I talked with Thierry when I arrived and I talk with him regularly.

“He told me England is not as easy as it is in France, he said it is different. But he trusted and believed in me, and if Thierry can believe like the coach believes in me, that is good.

“Have Arsenal fans seen the best of me? Not yet, because I know I can do more but I need more time because it is really different than with Lyon. NaijaBet.com

“I was in Lyon for some years, but it is better and better every day.”

Arsenal face Southampton on Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium before travelling to Russia for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie with CSKA Moscow, with the Gunners taking a commanding 4-1 lead into the fixture.
