Arsenal Close To Lyon's Lacazette Deal

Arsenal are closing in on signing Alexandre Lacazette from Olympique Lyon, according to L'Équipe.

The French newspaper report that The Gunners are prepared to pay up to £49m for the France international, with Lyon likely to accept such a bid.

The striker was on the verge of joining Atlético Madrid, after reportedly even agreeing terms with the Spanish giants.

However, their transferban upheld, which ended the possibility of a move. He's now set to move to the Premier League, as Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is said to be a big fan of him.

As reported by Telegraph, Wenger would like Lacazette, Mbappe and his Monaco team-mate Thomas Lemar as he rebuilds his team.
