Unai Emery convinced Alexandre Lacazette will return to France set-up despite Didier Deschamps snub

Arsenal boss Unai Emery says hes convinced that Alexandre Lacazette will earn a call-up to Didier Deschamps France squad despite being snubbed in March.

The Frenchman last appeared for his country in a friendly against Germany in November 2017 and was overlooked for a recent Euro 2020 qualifier against Iceland.

Lacazette, 27, has scored 15 goals in 39 appearances for the Gunners this term and was tipped for a call-up ahead of Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud.

However, he was overlooked by Deschamps and though Emery respects his opinion, the Spaniard says its only a matter of time before the striker is recalled.

I respect Deschamps point of view, said Emery.

The aim is also that Lacazette constructs a consistency for himself and the necessary productivity to be able to make the French national team.
