How do I use blade to pass a variable to an image source?

What I am trying to do is link to an image that has the same name as the value that is associated with the image and the current player profile being viewed. Here is the code I am trying to run:

<a href="#"><img src=.png')}} alt="" height="250" width="250"></a>

I get this error:

ErrorException in 3df6d770fcb0ad814f71ee3a4e14a69779b15332.php line 5:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ')'

I have also tried this,

<a href="#"><img src='/public/player_images/.png') alt="" height="250" width="250"></a>

but the image will not load. I do though get the alt as the player first name, so I know that I can pass data this way, but how do I do it for the source of an image? I realize the first set of code most likely is failing because of the embedded within the , but I don't understand why the second method doesn't work. Any help on why this isn't working or how I could accomplish another way would be greatly appreciated.
