Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas has revealed that he will allow star striker Alexandre Lacazette to leave only after the club sign a replacement.
Arsenal are desperate to strengthen their attacking lineup this summer and reports have claimed that the Gunners are ready to splash the cash in order to acquire the services of Lyon star Alexandre Lacazette.
Lacazette is reportedly for sale at the moment but Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas has warned Arsenal that the club will only look to sell the 26-year-old after a capable replacement is signed.
"Today [Monday] our position is that as long as we have not signed his replacement, we will keep him," Aulas told reporters.
"He expressed the wish to leave and he was given an agreement to go to the club of his heart, but things did not happen. He wants to leave. We will discuss it in the coming weeks. If so, offers will be heard, provided they match the value of the player."
