Arsenal manager Unai Emery says he wanted Alexandre Lacazette in 2016, when Frenchman was playing for Lyon Olympique. Former PSG manager has replaced Arsene Wenger this summer. Arsenal have won 9 matches in a row and will face Leicester City today. Emery has been asked by to compare Lacazette with Edinson Cavani. "They are different players, it is very difficult to compare," Emery said (via Sky Sports). "But for example, when I arrived at PSG we were thinking to sign Lacazette. "His quality and his characteristics also we liked at PSG. Also, the people who were working there, they said to us, 'This player has the quality to play for PSG' when we were there. "He was at Lyon and it wasn't easy to have the conversation or to sign a player from Lyon or from PSG for Lyon. He was an option for us." "We are speaking together with Laca," he added. "For him, last year, his first year in the Premier League, it was a different league than the French league also and the position also, the rhythm also, not the mentality because he has a very good mentality and he has very good chances usually to score. He is very efficient. "But he needs to continue his adaptation for us, for the Premier League, for the rhythm. This year we are looking at him one step more in this level. "We are very happy but my message to him is: 'Every day, don't stop'. "Don't stop in training, don't stop in matches, carry on to find his best performance. Not even just in matches but in each minute of the 90 minutes and he is doing that." Emery added.
