Lacazette won't sign new Arsenal contract

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has no plans of renewing his contract with the club, according to Fichajes.

  • The Frenchman has entered the final eight months of his deal, and he can negotiate a pre-contract with a foreign club in January.

    Lacazette was largely out-of-favour during the early months of the season, but he has returned to contention over the past few weeks.

    He scored a dramatic 95th-minute equaliser against Crystal Palace coming off the bench, and has since been a regular league starter.

    Lacazette won a penalty in the 3-1 win over Aston Villa, and he was also lively against Leicester City with his hold-up and quick link-up play.

    Mikel Arteta recently refused to rule out a renewal for the 30-year-old, but the marksman appears to have made his mind up to leave.

    The Gunners spent £46m up front for the Frenchman four years ago. They have the opportunity to recoup a small part of the fee this winter.

    It appears unlikely to happen with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe absent in January due to African Cup of Nations duty.

    The Gunners plan to depend on Lacazette's experience up front, and there are concerns that a new signing may not be able to adapt quickly.
