Alexandre Lacazette to leave Arsenal?

Arsenal are expected to lose Alexandre Lacazette when his contract expires next summer, French publication L'Equipe claims.

The Frenchman has been in impressive form over the past few weeks where he has been an undisputed starter up front.

Despite this, the striker does not see his future with the Gunners as they are reluctant to meet his contract demands.

Lacazette is eyeing a long-term deal with a pay rise, but the club are only willing to hand a short-term extension.

The hierarchy are also reluctant to improve his weekly package. Lacazette feels he could be better off leaving the club.

He is unlikely to be short of offers. Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus are all keeping tabs on him.

Atletico appear a realistic destination for Lacazette with manager Diego Simeone being a huge admirer of his services.

The La Liga outfit failed to sign him in 2017 due to a transfer ban. Simeone remains keen on Lacazette despite him being 30.
