Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is expected to leave the London club this summer.
According to the latest reports, the Gunners are looking to cash in on the French international, and they are hoping to sell him for a fee of around £15 million.
The striker is in the final year of his contract, and he could leave as a free agent next year. It makes sense for the Premier League club to cash in on him right now. The Londoners are unwilling to offer him a contract extension.
It will be interesting to see if the Gunners can find a suitable club for the experienced striker in the coming weeks. Lacazette is apparently on high wages at Arsenal, and his suitors might not be willing to shell out that kind of money for him.
Apparently, Arsenal are hoping to sign Tammy Abraham from Chelsea, and they will need the proceeds from Lacazette’s sale to sign the 23-year-old from their rivals.
Abraham needs to leave Stamford Bridge in order to play regular first-team football, and a move to Arsenal could be ideal for him, especially if the Gunners can give him the game time assurances he needs.
The Gunners have Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli at their disposal as well, but the former is expected to move on in search of regular game time this summer.
Lacazette has had a mixed time at Arsenal since his move from Lyon, and he will be hoping for a fresh start this summer.
