Striker who Mikel Arteta released at Arsenal could be sold again, after 34 goals in 48 games

Alexandre Lacazette has been flourishing away from Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, but the striker could be on the move away from Lyon soon.

That is according to Le Progrès, which has noted what the future could hold for former Arsenal striker Lacazette.

So, what has been reported about former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette? Let’s take a look.

What’s the story?

Well, according to Le Progrès, Lyon could sell former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette in the January transfer window.

The report has claimed that Lyon are “seriously considering” selling Lacazette as well as his teammate Corentin Tolisso.

The 32-year-old returned to Lyon in the summer of 2022. The striker signed for the French club on a free transfer after leaving Arsenal.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta decided to release the striker when his contract at the North London club ran out.

During his time at Arsenal, Lacazette scored 71 goals in 206 appearances and won the FA Cup and the Community Shield.

Alexandre Lacazette did well at Arsenal, but he was never really the ‘main man’ in attack. It was always Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Lacazette was not particularly great at Arsenal, but he was not bad either. I personally believe that the striker was a success for the North London club. Gunners Sporting Director Edu praised him when he left.

The striker has been doing well since he left Arsenal. Lacazette scored 27 goals and gave five assists in 34 Ligue 1 starts last season. So far this campaign, the Frenchman has scored three goals in eight league starts.

Lacazette has scored a total of 34 goals in 48 matches in all competitions for Lyon since returning to the club in 2022. It will be interesting to see which club the former Arsenal striker finds himself at after January.
