Arsenal are open to selling Alexandre Lacazette this summer for the right price, according to a report from Football.London.

It is claimed the Gunners are working on deals for a number of players. However, among the summer plans there is an openness to sell Lacazette, but only if the right bid comes along.

The Frenchman joined Arsenal back in 2017, while Arsene Wenger was still in charge. Lacazette has played a key role at times this season both from the starting XI and bench. Indeed, Mikel Arteta praised his striker’s impact as a sub earlier this season.

However, it seems Arteta is now open to allowing Lacazette go. He is one of the Gunners’ top earners, with wages just shy of the £200k-a-week mark widely reported.

Arsenal have recently moved Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to a more central role. This has shunted Lacazette out of the XI, while Eddie Nketiah is another player the Gunners may also look to cash in on.

It certainly looks to be heading that way. Lacazette was linked with moves to Spain and Italy throughout the last summer window.

It looks like we are set for a repeat here, then. Monaco have been linked in recent weeks, while the likes of Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid have been consistently mentioned.

Arteta seems intent on completely rebuilding things at Arsenal. Sadly for Lacazette, it looks like he might be one of the players shifted on.
