Mesut Ozil has said he is looking forward to playing with “ice cold” Alexandre Lacazette.

• Lacazette joined Arsenal on Wednesday
• Ozil believes “ice cold” Lacazette can score plenty of goals
• He’s looking forward to providing assists for him

Since Ozil arrived at Arsenal, we’ve all been looking forward to the day he could link up with a quick and prolific striker.

The German has provided many assists for the likes of Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez, and will now have the opportunity to play with Lacazette.

Speaking to Arsenal Player, Ozil revealed he is eager to link-up with the Frenchman.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” Ozil said.

“He’s a very good striker who has scored many goals in Ligue 1, not just this season but in previous seasons too. We’re really happy to have such a class striker here with us.

“From what I’ve heard, he’s meant to be very good, always hungry for goals and ice-cold when he gets into a scoring position. My friends who follow the French league know him well and have told me that I’ll definitely have fun with him on the pitch.

“I hope that he’ll be able to take us further with his goals. I’m sure he’s happy to be here and to be able to play with us, and we’re pleased to be able to assist him and help him to score as many goals as possible.”

Lacazette officially joined Arsenal for £52m on Wednesday, becoming the club’s record signing in the process. Arsenal’s previous record was Mesut Ozil himself.

He was very prolific in France, and fans will be hoping that he can be even more so with the service of Ozil and Alexis.
