Biography
Anyone who watched the Emirates Cup would have noticed Harry Novillo and Alexandre Lacazette. Lacazette in particular stood out, this being his 3rd game in 3 days.
On this display, Lacazette clearly loves to pace it down the wings, and try to get in to the box to run onto goalscoring oppurtunities. He has good passing skills and as the following video will testify, a powerful long shot.

In the Emirates, he telepathically linked up with Novillo, providing an excellent cross for his young team-mate (the 2nd goal)

Blessed with explosive pace, Lacazette is already given a speed of 16/acceleration 18 in FM 2010. However, as this has been a breakaway season for the young Frenchman, I can see a large PA/CA boost. He clearly loves the pressure, too, scoring the winning goal for the France U19s with an excellently timed header against Spain.

His stats arent up to much in FM 2010 (CA:90, PA:144).
Here is him as a Portsmouth player on my Juventus save (2014).

Technique:16
OL place a large emphasis on Technique: Benzema/Ben Arfa. He oozes quality and seemed quite technically good: i.e he strikes the ball well

I'd say he would be a quality player for any Premier Division side, but may be reluctant to leave Lyon : he has been there all his life. At 19, he may well be past Verratti age, and only has a good 5 years of development in him, but 2009/10 was a break-out season for the young Frenchman. You must remember, this is a product of the famed L'OL academy, alongside:
***
Ludovic Giuly
Hatem Ben Arfa
Karim Benzema
Freddie Kanoute
Loic Remy
Steed Malbranque
Maor Bozaglo
Abdelkader Ghezzal
Yannis Tafer....
to name but a few
Watch for the name. He could be massive in FM 2011. Or just average
