I wouldn't swap any of them with Firmino. Many fans have stated that Firmino isn't a real striker and at first I agreed with this. I always thought Firmino was a false 9 who is there to cause havoc and let Mane and Salah score the goals but he has proved me and many others wrong this season.
I have watched Lukaku on many occasions and although he can score against the small teams when Utd are battering a team I feel his game is limited. He isn't that mobile, his first touch is dreadful and he gets isolated and marked out the game and I don't think he has the creativity to do anything about it.
Morata is probably the best out of the 3 but again he misses too many chances for a top striker worth all that money. he has good movement but you need to be more clinical playing at this level.
Lacazette looks like he doesn't suit the Arsenal system. The boy can score goals but looks out of place for Arsenal who need a Firmino type player to compliment Sanchez and Ozil.
Firmino has it all. He is a complete forward. he presses, tackles, assists and scores goals. His work rate is incredible and defenders must hate playing against him constantly snapping at their heels.
Bobby > The rest!!

Also international goals
Lacazette has 3 in 16
Firmino has 5 in 18
Morata has 13 in 23
Lukaku has 31 in 65
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though Laca's stats there aren't very impressive, I would say there's more competition for places in France's attack than there would be for Lukaku.

Goal scoring doesn't really paint the whole picture though. Firmino, despite being the central player furthest forward often makes the unselfish runs that take him away from goal and allow space for other players. That is his role in the team. The other 3 are the main focus of their teams attacks in terms of being in positions to score themselves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Depends why they were signed, can't say what Klopp had in mind for Firmino but I'm positive the other 3 were signed to be the focal point of the attack for their respective sides

Horses for courses. Lukaku wouldn’t work in Klopp’s team set up any more than Firmino would work in Utd’s. Players are brought for how he manager wants to play.
Lukaku and Morata are an interesting comparison however because it seems (rumours/actual bids) that both managers were interested in both players.

Goals per games average so far in their careers
Firmino 1 in 3
Morata 1 in 2.5
Lukaku and Lacazette 1 in 2
Roughly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Morata played for Real Madrid and Juventus, top teams in their league, Lacazette played for Lyon, a top team in their league.
Firmino played for Hoffenheim...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lukaku played for Everton
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And West Brom

different artilce this one to the kane one.
Firmino v lukaku is no contest.
Lukaku is good off his head but he misses more than he scores on the ground, his movement is dire as is his work rate. It'd be like going back to benteke
Morata is an absolutely class player. I don't think he's fully settled into english football and isn't quite firing on all cylinders. He is the better player when comparing to firmino (if both on form)
Lacazette... meh. i think i can see why people didn't buy him until the money went so mad his fee was a pittance. He's good but he's not in the same league as kane and morata.
