Alexandre Lacazette has received his first call-up to the French national team, replacing Jérémy Ménez. The 21-year-old Lyon striker, who hails from Guadeloupe, will join the French squad for their tour to South America, where they will face Uruguay on June 5 and Brazil on June 9.
Lacazette has had an impressive season with Lyon, scoring three goals and providing three assists in Ligue 1. He has established himself as a key player in Lyon’s plans for the future. His former CFA coach, Robert Valette, believes that this call-up will contribute to Lacazette’s development and progression as a player.
