Alexandre Lacazette 'excited for Christmas period'

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette says that he is excited to experience the Premier League's busy Christmas schedule for the first time.

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has said that he is excited to experience the Premier League's busy Christmas schedule for the first time.

The Frenchman, who joined the Gunners for a club-record fee in the summer transfer window, also said that the upcoming period was one of the main reasons for moving to North London.

"One of the reasons I came to London was so I could experience this period," Lacazette told Arsenal's club website. "They've given me quite a few tips on nutrition, on how to be careful and get a lot of rest.

"They also told me how, despite it all, I should enjoy time with my nearest and dearest because often, people who are close to you come to London during this time.

"When every weekend you watch the Premier League, you tell yourself, one day why not? You think about one day feeling that atmosphere and experiencing that time in December, experiencing a season in the Premier League and knowing what it's like."

Arsene Wenger's side begin their festive schedule with a game against Liverpool on Friday night, before facing both Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion ahead of the New Year.
