Alexandre Lacazette wants compatriot and good friend Antoine Griezmann to join him at Arsenal.
The Frenchman discussed his relationship with the Atletico Madrid forward, and as quoted by the Evening Standard, joked that when he sees him next, he will ask him to join forces with him at the Emirates.
We are very good friends and have lots of fun. Our nicknames for each other are Griezzy and Lacaz. If Griezzy visits me in London, I’m going to ask him to sign for Arsenal!
Lacazette has enjoyed a positive start to life in North London. He has established himself as Arsene Wenger’s first choice striker and is currently in a good run of form.
Griezmann has gone from strength to strength at Atletico since his move from Real Sociedad, and has gone on to become one of the world’s most sought after players. Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for the versatile attacker over the course of the last couple of summers.
The 26-year-old only recently signed a contract extension with Diego Simeone’s side, but has been persistently linked with a move to the Premier League.
Griezmann would certainly be a coup for the Gunners, and Lacazette will hope to link up with him not just on international duty with the pair’s native France.
