Alexandre Lacazette Explains Why He Celebrates Scoring With 'Trumpet'

Everybody loves a good football celebration, partially because it means someone has scored but also because they're usually a lot of fun on their own. Alexandre Lacazette's got his own celebration and he's explained it.

All football celebrations are a lot of fun, even the most simplistic, and there's something particularly wonderful about an iconic celebration. Be it Alan Shearer's raised hand, Andy Cole's double fist pump or Robbie Keane's rolly polly they're all wonderful.

There's plenty of top goalscorers in the Premier League in Romelu Lukaku, Sergio Aguero, Alvaro Morata and Harry Kane but none of them really have a specific celebration that is instantly recognisable to being theirs.

Step forward Arsenal's latest striking addition in Alexandre Lacazette. The Frenchman has bagged four goals in his opening five games for the Gunners and has launched his trumpet playing celebration on the Premier League.

The 26 year-old, taking to Arsenal Player via the Mirror, revealed that his musical outburst comes from a bet with a good friend of his saying:

"It was based on a bet with a friend of mine who really likes music that involves trumpets. It was a joke between the two of us. That's how it all started, it was all a bet. I've just kept doing it and I really like it.

"The first time was in a friendly: Lyon against Sporting Lisbon, I believe, and then I did it in the league at Nancy."

It started out as a bet and it's clearly worked for him as his Arsenal form just continues the good work he's been doing in Ligue 1 for the last few years. The 26 year old has scored more than 20 league goals in his last three seasons, bagging 28 last year.

Arsenal fans will obviously be hoping they see the trumpet more and more and Lacazette's double gave them three points against West Brom on Monday as the Gunners won 2-0.

Now the rest of the Premier League's high profile strikers need to develop their own celebration!
