Arsenal fan gets Alexandre Lacazette's face tattooed on backside after tweet goes wrong

AN Arsenal fan got Alexandre Lacazette's face tattooed on his backside - after a tweet went wrong.

Alexandre Lacazette scores on debut for Arsenal

Football fan @sxmleach made a bold claim last month as rumours gathered pace that Lacazette may be heading to London.

He wrote: "If Arsenal sign Lacazette i'll get a tattoo of his face somewhere on me body."

The Frenchman duly signed for a club-record fee of £46.5million a week later and @sxmleach kept his word.

He duly posted a picture of the completed tattoo with Lacazette's smiling face on his rear end.

Alexandre Lacazette was the second highest goalscorer in Ligue 1 last season with 28 goals

The striker has been backed to shine in the Premier League by fellow France international Olivier Giroud.

He said: "He is a good player so it is always easy to play with this kind of player,’ Giroud said after the game.

"We have a good understanding and had the opportunity to play a little bit in training with France.

"I think he will settle well to the Premier League."

Lacazette, 26, has won 11 caps for France and was the second-highest scorer in Ligue 1 last season with 28 goals.

After joining Lacazette said: "Arsenal are the club that plays the best football in England so I really wanted to come here.

"Throughout my childhood and thanks to Arsenal's former striker Thierry Henry and other French players, I always dreamed of playing for this club so that dream has been fulfilled.

"I like clubs with a history and the fact that the manager has been here for a while shows that it is a stable club. There are quite a few French players at the club which will make it easy to settle in."
