Alexandre Lacazette is a firm fans' favourite at the Emirates Stadium.
The French striker has built up quite a connection, not just with his strike partner Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but with the Arsenal supporters too.
The 27-year-old has 19 goals and 10 assists to his name this season, but has not played for France since 2017.
His Arsenal form has been excellent and he has been one of the players of the season for the Gunners.
But it has gone unnoticed by national coach Didier Deschamps.

It has not gone unnoticed by a former Premier League boss though - Frenchman Claude Puel, who was Lacazette's manager when the pair were at Lyon together.
Puel has always been a fan, previously calling him a "complete striker" and the ex Leicester City and Southampton manager has gone even further now.
Speaking to l'Equipe, Puel said: "With his now complete record of super-striker I think so [he is one of the best strikers in the world].
"Alex is a boy who needs to be trusted. Despite the great wealth of France in this area, if he feels this confidence he can bring a lot.
"He has always had character but he has been able to affirm it to optimise his qualities and perform at the highest level."
