Arsenal new boy Alexandre Lacazette has been given a rating of 85 in FIFA 18 - and Gunners supporters are not happy.

It seems the reason for their frustration is that the France international was given this rating last season, while he was still plying his trade in Ligue 1 with Lyon.

He has since moved to the Premier League for a commanding transfer fee of £52million, making him Arsenal's record purchase.

Not only this but he has hit the ground running for the Gunners.

After representing the club in their Community Shield victory over Chelsea, Lacazette made his professional debut against Leicester City.

And it was a day to remember for the 26-year-old, who found the back of the net for the Gunners in just two minutes in front of a delighted crowd at the Emirates.

Since then he had a perfectly good goal ruled out against Stoke City before Arsene Wenger opted to stick him on the bench for the Liverpool defeat.

Last season Lacazette managed a staggering 36 goals in 44 appearances for Lyon, bagging two in each of his last three games for the club.

But it seems he hasn't warranted an upgrade in the eyes of the EA Sports, much to the disbelief of the Arsenal supporters.

Still, that could all change when the January updates are made.

Here's how Gunners fans have been reacting to the news on Twitter, well, the ones who have done so in less colourful terms that is.
