Arsenal are looking for a new striker and many feel like the Frenchman might be exactly what they need after he found lethal form in Ligue 1 scoring 21 goals in Ligue 1 last season with only Zlatan Ibrahimovic finding the net more.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Lyon refuted the claims made by local paper Le Progres that the North London club made a bid of €48m for the sharpshooter before explaining that he is "irreplaceable" and therefore, not for sale. https://twitter.com/OL/status/757883190354776064 While one might think that Arsenal fans would be thrilled that the club are finally trying to land a new striker, the reaction from Gooners has not been positive. Many feel that the bid was far too low for a player of Lacazette's ability with some even claiming that Arsenal made a bid they knew wouldn't get accepted just so it appears as if they were trying to sign the player. Others criticised the club for making a bid lower than the one West Ham made for the player that was rejected earlier in the year. However, reports at the time suggested Lacazette would only leave Lyon for a club in the Champions League, which may explain why Arsenal went lower with their bid. https://twitter.com/StamfordEdition/status/757911670643625984 https://twitter.com/FootyHumour/status/757911270175731712 https://twitter.com/MrValentine93/status/757912672469934080 https://twitter.com/WDEGALLERIE/status/757912616857657344 https://twitter.com/Wing92x/status/757912619537793026 https://twitter.com/CollarUpCantona/status/757912295645282304 https://twitter.com/PrzybyszMatt11/status/757912212514177025 https://twitter.com/TheFooTypster/status/757890660850597888 https://twitter.com/JamesKent73/status/757891079102406656Explore more on these topics:
