Huge! Arsenal Firm Favorites To Finally Land Long Term Transfer Target From Lyon

Arsenal and Liverpool target Alexandre Lacazette may yet stay back in France suggest reports.

The French international, who is also making strides in the international arena, is easily one of the best finishers not just in France but also in Europe.

He has been terrific form in front of goal to AS Lyon for more than a year now and has constantly been linked with an exit.

He decided to stay back at Lyon in the previous summer but reports suggested that he is finally ready to move out of France, with a number of clubs all around Europe scouting for his services.

Lacazette was close to a move to Vicente Calderon but the Spanish side were hit by an FFP ban that stops them from signing players this summer.

This meant that Lacazette was still up for sale and English Premier League sides Liverpool and Arsenal are extensively linked with a move for the hitman this summer.

Arsenal have been looking for a striker for more than two summers now and were in for Lacazette last summer. However, they were not ready to pay the stipulated fee and saw Lacazette stay back.

But with a striker now an immediate requirement, Wenger wants to move back for the Frenchman yet again this summer.

Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager is also desperate for his services and has also been linked with a move for him before the start of the next season.

But bookmakers Betfair claim that Arsenal are leading the race for his signature this summer.

The Gunners are priced as 2/1 favourites to sign Lacazette this summer, while Liverpool trail in the market at odds of 4/1.

With 37 goals to his name across all competition last season, Lacazette has been a genuine goal scorer in his home country, bagging 129 goals in 275 appearances in League 1.

At just 26, he is also an option for the future and certain reports also claim that he could yet stay back in France for another season.

With loads of money to burn Arsenal and Liverpool will surely look to take strides in signing him and this is a saga that might go on for a long, long time this summer.
