Lacazette speaking with 'a lot of clubs' as striker prepares to leave Arsenal

Alexandre Lacazette continues to run his contract at Arsenal down and the French forward says he has been “in discussions with a lot of clubs” ahead of the summer.

The 30-year-old striker, who has been with the Gunners since 2017, has been free to speak with teams outside of England since January.

He says he has been making the most of that opportunity as he considers walking away from Emirates Stadium after five seasons.

Mikel Arteta has stated on a regular basis that he intends to discuss Lacazette’s contract situation when the 2021-22 campaign comes to a close.

It may be too late by then to convince an experienced frontman to stay as he continues to mull over his options.

Lacazette told Canal Plus of his situation: “I am in discussions with a lot of clubs. I am open.”
