Arsenal have big ambitions for the season that striker Alexandre Lacazette has said after their 3-0 opening-day win against Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.
“It was the best way to start the season,” Lacazette, who joined the scoreboard alongside new signing Gabriel and captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, told the BBC.
“[Manager Mikel Arteta] wants us to be perfect. We have many great ambitions. I want to help the team to be on top and I know it is my job. “

Lacazette denied media reports that he had wanted to walk away from Arsenal during the final season.
Sources told ESPN on Friday that Lacazette was to seek clarification on his position at Arsenal amid speculation that he would leave the club in a £ 40 million deal.
“I am very happy at Arsenal,” said the French international.

“Only the press and other people say that I am not. I want to play and win titles. We want to be aggressive with and without the ball and improve all aspects of our game.”
Arteta said the situation regarding the club captain Aubameyang, who has yet to extend his contract which expires next year, will likely clear up soon and highlighted the performances of several players at Craven Cottage.
“I’m really sure we will make it [Aubameyang’s new contract] done, “Arteta told BT Sport.” Hopefully in the next few days you can receive some news.
“I wanted to see my team determined with a lot of energy and do the things we did in training. We did it today.
“Gabriel did not play for six months until today. Mohamed Elneny was brilliant. He has been excellent in training from day one. All the guys put in a lot of effort.”
