Departing Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has agreed a return to Lyon.

The Athletic says he has opted to re-join Lyon - the side he left to sign for Arsenal in 2017.

Lacazette joined the Gunners for around £47m from the Ligue 1 outfit ahead of Arsene Wenger's final season in charge at the Emirates.

He scored 17 goals in his debut campaign, but saw his importance wane following the January 2018 arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Lacazette would go on to play 206 times for the Gunners, scoring 71 goals and laying on 36 assists.

As his contract neared its conclusion, Lyon's interest in a reunion grew.
