Do Not Sell My Personal Information
While Arsenal supporters received the disappointing news that Lyon have turned down the Gunners’ £29.3 million offer for Alexandre Lacazette today, it’s at least reassuring that they’re trailing him.
With concrete Arsenal transfer talk having been thin on the ground since the Jamie Vardy deal went dead, at least there’s now evidence of Arsene Wenger looking to pin down a top class striker.
Options have been dwindling all summer long and in all honesty, Alexandre Lacazette potentially looks like the last top class striker available on the market with Gonzalo Higuain heading to Juventus.
While Lyon continue to boldly claim that Lacazette isn’t for sale, we expect that the player will be getting increasingly restless having been loyal to stick around for the past few seasons.
Arsenal completed a classic move by submitting a low opening offer and it remains to be seen whether the Gunners will return for the French international.
Gooners will certainly be hoping so given the fact Lacazette has maintained his reputation of being a clinical goalscorer in Ligue 1 despite missing out on Didier Deschamps’ French squad for Euro 2016.
With plenty of time still left for Arsenal to get the players they need, today we list FIVE more concrete bids the Gunners are likely to make before August is over.
