He is very intelligent, he can make up the play with [Mesut] Ozil, with [Aaron] Ramsey, with [Danny] Welbeck."I think he would be a great addition for Arsenal. And he speaks French!" Arsenal have also been linked with another French forward on the books of a Premier League rival, in the form of Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.While happy to talk up Lacazette for a role in north London, Silvestre feels a raid on Old Trafford would make little sense for all concerned. The former France international, who spent nine years with United before linking up with Arsenal, added on Martial: "It's been difficult for him. "Arsene could be interested, but United needs that type of striker. He should stick around."After netting 17 times in his debut campaign with the Red Devils, Martial managed just eight goals last season.In contrast, Lacazette recorded a new personal best tally of 37 in all competitions for Lyon.</blockquote>
