Alexandre Lacazette is set to be an Arsenal player. After Lyon President Jean Michel-Aulas announced that a deal was agreed upon, Lacazette arrived in North London on Monday morning to undergo a medical and complete the switch. He signals an attacking evolution that Arsene Wenger is seemingly keen to instigate. However, adding just one player is not enough to fully execute such a significant and substantial change.

Here are three players to top off the attacking evolution that Lacazette has started.

The French revolution of young attacking talent is quite remarkable. While many mayfocus on the household names Paul Pogba, Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele there are still many others in the French system that are wonderfully gifted players, even if they may not garner the same coverage and hype.

One of those players is Thomas Lemar, a 21-year-old winger who has been a part of the ruthless Monaco side that have sliced open every opponent in their path on their way to a Champions League semi-final and Ligue 1 title. Lemar himself is a technical, composed winger, who uses his excellent balance and spatial awareness to outmanoeuvre his opponents, rather than merely sprint past them as the quicker attackers may do.

He would slide into the Arsenal team with great ease. He has the intelligence and vision that Wenger demands of his attacking players. He also has a great future ahead of him, given his age and youthfulness. Anchoring an attacking revolution on his and Lacazettes talents would be no bad thing whatsoever.
