Arsenal boss Unai Emery admits he's long been a fan of Alexandre Lacazette.

Emery wanted to team Lacazette up with Neymar and Edinson Cavani before PSG swooped for Kylian Mbappe.

He said, "When I arrived at PSG we were thinking to sign Lacazette.

"We liked his quality and his characteristics and the people who were working there said to us: "This player has the quality to play for PSG".

"He was at Lyon and it wasn't easy to sign a player from there for PSG, but he was an option for us."
