Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has been linked with a surprise move to FC Barcelona, and his former manager believes he could do 'very well' at the LaLiga giants.
Barca have reportedly been searching for a new No. 9 as they look for a long-term successor to Luis Suarez.
The French forward registered 19 goals and 13 assists across all competitions for the Gunners this season.
Claud Puel gave Lacazette his debut at Olympique Lyon, and the French tactician feels the striker is similar to Suarez.
"Lacazette can be a player like Luis Suare," Puel told El Pais. "He can go into the midfield a little and ask to get the ball in space. For me, he could do very, very well in Barcelona.
"Suarez's problem is that he has lost some physical condition. He was more powerful and started more. Not now. He knows how to get away, go deep and ask for the ball, because he is a scorer. But you need something more.
"With Guardiola, Barca played 80 per cent of the game in the opposition half of the field. Now they accept playing a low block.
"When you are so deep, you need a striker to hold the ball when you get it to allow the team to advance. Suarez loses the ball continuously."
