La Liga victors Atletico Madrid, have reportedly decided to add French forward Alexander Lacazette. The forward enjoyed a decent season with Arsenal and has now cut the eyes of the Spanish topflight side. Atletico Madrid's attacking intent The Spanish topflight team added Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez to their ranks last season. This was a fruitful addition as he played an instrumental role on their way to La Liga glory. In a season where the likes of Angel Correa and Joao Felix were far below par, Atletico was often found relying heavily on Suarez for goals. With that in mind, manager Diego Simeone probably has his eyes on bringing more competition to the frontlines. Other reasons for the pursuit of Alexander Lacazette The further buttress how instrumental Luiz Suarez was to the Atletico Madrid side, the Uruguayan netted over 20 times for the Madrid side. After Suarez, the next in line concerning goals was Spanish midfielder, Marcos Llorente. With this stat in mind, it is understandable while Diego Simeone would have his eyes on adding another striker. Finally, another reason for the potential addition of Alexander Lacazette is the age of Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan turned 34 this year. With the recognition that Suarez is not getting any younger, it would be insane for Diego Simeone to rest all his goal-scoring hopes on him. Hence the potential signature of Alexander Lacazette. Conclusion Alexander Lacazette would be a fitting addition to Atletico Madrid as he is a striker with a fair measure of physicality. Due to the intensity and devotion that comes with Simeone's playing style, a striker with physicality and the ability to hold up play would be instrumental. Without any reasonable doubt, Alexander Lacazette possesses such qualities. Article Writer ✏️ Ordu Daniel
