Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette has spoken very highly of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy ahead of the match between the two clubs tonight.
As reported on Daily Star, the the Frenchman is a big fan of Vardy and is impressed with his finishing ability.
Lacazette has found some goalscoring form for Arsenal and netted twice in their last league match against Fulham.
He is expected to start, as is Vardy for Leicester. Lacazette said:
I like this guy because any balls in the box and can be a goal for him, for his team.
He never gives up so I like this kind of striker. He has got quality and scores goals.
Vardy was close to moving to the Emirates Stadium in 2016 but eventually decided to remain with the Foxes. He has found the net three times this term and Arsenal will be looking to keep him quiet tonight.
Lacazette has formed a lethal partnership with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and both players could start together today.
