FIRED-UP Alexandre Lacazette is eyeing Europa League glory — so Arsene Wenger can STAY at Arsenal.
The Gunners have drawn Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals after beating CSKA Moscow 6-3 over two legs.
It means they will come up against their old enemy — former Chelsea hitman Diego Costa.
The La Liga giants are a tough proposition but £52million ace Lacazette prays Arsenal can save their season with a Euro triumph that would ease pressure on Wenger.
The French striker is dreaming of making the Europa League final on May 16, which is in Lyon where he used to play.
Lacazette, 26, said: “It can be the way to keep the manager because he’s done so much good for the club. I really want to be in that final, to play in front of family and friends.
“I came to Arsenal because I want to win trophies. So to get to the final is very important.
“It will save our season because in the Premier League we are not doing well. Winning a cup would be good.”

Petr Cech agrees the Gunners must seize their chance to get into the Champions League via the back door.
The veteran keeper, 35, said: “There’s a big responsibility for everyone as we know it is difficult in the league.

“Someone would have to have a meltdown in the last seven games to give us an opportunity to sneak into the top four.
“This is our chance to book our Champions League spot. But not only that, you play a European competition for a cup — and one the club has never won.
“So this is a chance to add a great trophy to the cabinet.
“You need to keep the progression by winning things.”
Arsenal went into the away leg against CSKA with a 4-1 lead — but risked crashing out when they went 2-0 down before Danny Welbeck and Aaron Ramsey struck.
Asked about the drama in Russia, Cech added: “The start of the game was not what we planned.
“But in any European competition, you just need to play well enough to go through.
“This is more important than beautiful football.”
