At 30 and after almost five seasons in the jersey of Arsenal, Alexandre Lacazette is likely to say goodbye to the Gunners next summer. Free of any contract at the end of the season, the French striker has still not extended. Recently asked about his future, the Lyonnais made his desires known. A situation that does not seem to bother his coach, Mikel Arteta.
“His contractual situation allows him to make a decision about his future. We have already expressed our desire to speak to him this summer. But for now, I just want him fully focused on his mission which is to defend Arsenal’s interests in the best possible way.”he declared at a press conference, before adding that Lacazette “doesn’t need to tell him what he’s doing”when a journalist asked him if he was surprised to see his player discussing with other clubs.
