Atletico Madrid prioritise deal for Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette

Atletico Madrid have placed Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette top of their summer shopping list.

AS says Atletico management have prioritised Lacazette's signing, confident the Gunners are prepared to sell.

It emerged earlier this week that Real Madrid had been offered the Frenchman by Arsenal after making an enquiry for skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The sticking point for Atletico is the lack of free spending cash to meet Arsenal's valuation.

It's suggested they will have to sell Diego Costa first to raise the necessary funds to meet the Londoners' asking price for Lacazette.
