Atletico Madrid are being linked with Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette.

France's Soccer Link reports Atletico sporting director Andrea Berta personally spoke with Lacazette to try and tempt the Arsenal forward into a summer switch.

After talking to Berta, the 28-year-old got in touch with ex-Atletico star Antoine Griezmann, now of Barcelona, to talk through the possible switch.

The pair are good friends through their time with France's various national teams.

Lacazette is reportedly confident of the transfer going through at the end of the season, despite being happy at the Emirates Stadium.
