Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will switch his attentions to a move for Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette should a deal for Liverpool's Luis Suarez fall through. The 22-year-old is highly related at OL, but the Gunners are confident they can agree a move for the French international.

The 5 foot 9 forward impressed this week in a friendly game against Real Madrid and Arsenal scout Gilles Grimandi reportedly watched the match to monitor the youngster in action.<br />

The forward, who is comfortable playing on the wings or as a lone striker, scored 3 goals in 28 Ligue 1 games last year as Lyon deployed the youngster mainly as a right winger.<br />

Arsenal have already been in conversation with Liverpool forward Luis Suarez regarding a transfer move, but the Anfield side have quoted a fee believed to be too expensive for the Gunners and now Arsene Wenger is evaluating other transfer options instead.
