Exactly a year ago this week, breakfast presenter Gidi who was on a month long holiday in Paris, France met one of the most sought after forwards in the world, Alexandre Lacazette. The man just signed for Arsenal football club on a club record deal for five years.

This happened when the football world was all focused on the Euro 2016 tournament still underway.

The number one France supporter was lucky enough to bump into, Alexandre Lacazette who was then playing for French ligue 1 side, Olympique Lyonnais.

On his post, the obviously excited Gidi had faith that Lacazette, the 2015-16 second best top scorer and now the 2016-17 top forward who was left out of France’s Euro 2016 squad, should have been included in the final squad.

On his post, the Gidi na Ghost Asubuhi presenter said he had played a 'huge role' in helping Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger convince him to join Arsenal.

Arsenal were reportedly interested in the lethal finisher but his deal stalled and a year later, he seems to have said yes to Gidi's request and he signed for the club for 53Million British pounds, becoming the club's record signing since Mesut Ozil's 42Miliion British pounds deal in 2013.

"Meet Olympique Lyonnais top scorer and French ligue 1 2nd top scorer Alexandre Lacazette he’s only second to Zlatan Ibrahimovich on top scorer table. This guy should have been included in the French Euro2016 team." Gidi'posted on his Facebook page.
