Arsenal open talks with French club over making striker second summer signing – report
Arsenal have opened negotiations with Lyon for the signing of Alexandre Lacazette, according to reports
Arsenal have started talks with Ligue 1 side Lyon over a potential deal to sign Alexandre Lacazette this summer, according to reports in the English media.
The Daily Mail is reporting that the north London side are hoping to complete a transfer package to sign the 26-year-old centre-forward in the summer transfer window.
The France international has regularly been linked with a move to Arsenal over the past 24 months but a deal has failed to materialise for the experienced Ligue 1 striker.
According to the story in the Daily Mail, Arsenal are leading the race to sign the Lyon star ahead of a number of potential suitors in the summer transfer window.
The same article states that the FA Cup winners held talks with Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas in recent days and Arsene Wenger is set to enter into more discussions with the Ligue 1 side next week.
Arsenal have only signed Bosnian defender Sead Kolasinac in the summer transfer window so far after the left-back completed a free transfer from Bundesliga outfit Schalke 04 to the north London club.
