Arsenal to end Lacazette pursuit?

The Gunners are desperate for a star striker this summer and have been linked with a move for some of the best players in the transfer window in Europe.

They were reportedly interested in Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon but were rejected in their initial approach of £29m with the French club valuing him at £40m. It is now understood that Arsenal are not ready to up the bid and meet his valuation which is thought to be on the higher side.
