Arsenal striker Lacazette: I'm speaking with a lot of clubs

Alexandre Lacazette has revealed he's in talks to leave Arsenal.

The France striker comes off contract at the end of the season.

The 30-year-old has claimed that he is in talks with a number of clubs, indicating that leaving the Gunners appears likely as things stand. Speaking to Canal Plus, he said: “I am in discussions with a lot of clubs. I am open."

The veteran frontman has been linked with a return to Ligue 1 outfit Lyon and he admitted that he is still in regular contact with the French side when quizzed on a potential return to the Groupama Stadium.

He added: “I have never cut contact with Lyon since I left. I try to return to the club once or twice a year to see the medical staff because we are really close. Lyon knows that I am free, they have come to the information.“

Asked about a return to Lyon, Lacazette also said: "It's a bit more complicated.

"I want to play in Europe, it's been a long time since I played in the Champions League, I'm missing it. It's a little more complicated, nothing is impossible in life, but it's a little more complicated."
