Player ‘more and more determined’ to leave Arsenal – Gunners man edging towards exit

Alexandre Lacazette spoke to the French media at the weekend, informing Telefoot that he’ll make a decision on his future in January.

The 30-year-old has an Arsenal contract expiring at the end of June, and there’s been endless claims of agents offering him to clubs around Europe.

Calciomercato don’t believe a stay at Arsenal is genuinely within the striker’s thinking, claiming he’s ‘more and more determined’ to leave the Gunners. Juventus are taking notice of that situation, as the club’s economic issues have an impact on transfer outlook.

Free signings, such as Lacazette, are becoming tempting again, yet it’s been reported in recent weeks that Juventus, in an ideal world, would go for younger options who can have a resale value in the future.

Calciomercato also claim AC Milan and Fiorentina are keen on the Frenchman, and that he’d be willing to sign a pre-contract agreement from February onwards.

Lacazette has played 348 minutes of Premier League action so far this season, picking up three appearances in the EFL Cup to add to that. He’s scored against Crystal Palace, West Brom and Wimbledon across those matches.
