Alexandre Lacazette: Arsenal in negotiations to sign French striker from Lyon

Arsenal have had a bid rejected for 26-year-old
French striker Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon, but
negotiations are still ongoing.
However, the Gunners are less likely to sign
Monaco midfielder Thomas Lemar, 21, having
also had a bid turned down.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have not yet received any
bids for 28-year-old Chilean striker Alexis
Sanchez.
Sanchez has only a year left on his contract and
may be allowed to leave for the right price.
However, letting Sanchez leave would depend on
various factors, such as what reinforcements
Arsenal have in place and where the interest was
from, as they would be reluctant to sell him to
another English club.
The North London side do still hope Sanchez,
their top scorer last season, will sign a new deal.
