In a world where footballers chase money and other materialistic pleasures, it is nice to see Lacazette take the more romantic approach and return to his hometown club. Lyon are not in any European competition next season after finishing eighth in Ligue 1 this season and therefore, the 30-year-old’s decision could only be a result of his love for the club.

The striker made 203 Ligue 1 appearances for Lyon before departing for North London and scored 100 goals during that time. The Frenchman will now continue his legacy with OL and try to help them get back to the top of France’s top division.
