Arsenal are reportedly looking to sell Alexandre Lacazette this summer.

According to The Sun, the Gunners want to sell the 30-year-old this summer due to the fact he will not be offered a new contract.

The centre-forward’s £175,000-a-week deal at the Emirates Stadium expires next year, so selling him during this window will at least raise some funds.

The report explains Arsenal are trying to find a buyer now for the Frenchman and will welcome bids. It could take a fee of around £15million for the north London club to sell.

In addition, getting rid of him could help step up their interest in Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham.

Lacazette, who was signed by Arsene Wenger back in 2017, has won the FA Cup and the Community Shield with them.

The striker scored 17 goals in 43 appearances across all competitions last season. Overall, also has 65 goals in 170 games for them.

Arsenal should be happy if they can raise £15m for Alexandre Lacazette

With just one year remaining on his contract, selling Lacazette for big money this summer seems out of the question for Arsenal.

However, they can pitch to any potential suitor that he scored 17 goals during the previous campaign.

He’s someone that has never relied on blistering pace, so in theory the fact he’s now reached 30 shouldn’t be a worry.

It’s fair to say his form was inconsistent last year though, as he would go through patches of good form.

It may make sense for all parties if he does end up leaving Arsenal.
