Arsenal want Alexandre Lacazette but face Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund competition for £50m-rated Lyon star

France Football via GFFN claims that the clinical striker will definitely be on the move this summer.

And Lyon will accept offers of £50million from across Europe for Lacazette’s signature after identifying Anthony Martial as his replacement, with Arsenal allegedly in hot pursuit.
Olivier Giroud has emerged as a target for ambitious Marseille while Alexis Sanchez is expected to depart as he enters the final year of his contract.
It means Arsene Wenger will have to sign a new forward, and goal-machine Lacazette certainly fits the bill.

AC Milan have made tentative enquiries as well, but they are unlikely to make a move unless Carlos Bacca can be offloaded to the cash-rich Chinese Super League.
But fortunately for Arsenal, there are no other competitors from the Premier League, meaning they have a clear shot if Lacazette decides he wants to try his luck in England.
