Arsenal continue their search for a top quality goal scorer this summer and the superstar in the lime light for now is Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.
According to reports, the $43.4million rated star striker is close to signing for Arsenal as Wenger looks build a title winning side.
As per another link, Metro has reported that the Les Bleus star favorites a tweet on twitter that linked to a French website which claimed that Arsenal manager is a huge fan of forward and is eager to lure him this summer.
The French international rose to fame last season after his brilliant form earned Lyon a direct route to next season’s Champions League group stage as the Ligue 1 side finished second behind Paris Saint-Germain.
In all competitions last season, Alex Lacazette scored no fewer than 31 goals for Lyon making 40 appearances.
The above mentioned stats make it quite evident why the 24 year old forward is a wanted name in the transfer market.
Metro suggests that Lyon are happy to sell the striker hence Gunners must not waste more time in securing his signature because other suitors can surely turn up for such a talented star.
Wenger’s French connection can prove pivotal here but after bringing Lacazette, surely he would have to bench his current main Les Bleus star Olivier Giroud who was brilliant for the North Londoners last season.

Wenger Said Arsenal do not need to sign a defensive midfielder or a Striker . We agree with him because Arsenal really need to sign a credible manager first about two decades of failure of the current manager .
without a credible striker this season, I see arsenal going out of top 4, Wenger please go and try your skills elsewhere like QPR
Lol. Bakri you really should be in the bakery
Well now each of the six top premiership teams have signed at least three or four players except Arsenal as it seems that their manager is unconscious in a coma unaware the transfer market on its peak . he woke up to travel to Singapore telling people that he is not going to sign neither a striker nor a defensive midfielder . Long live great Arsene Wenger , horaaah , next year and foe sure you will win both the premier championship and the champion league Waoww
Have you lost your mind?
Lacah is real fire power. With him the league in our side and the champions league we are in the final. Let’s follow the Barcelona example of three top scorers playing together. Lone strikers can’t help a team!
Bakri is obviously a football expert who knows all the different aspects of signing players better than AW. ………….. Please resist the urge to publish your ignorance.
In my humble opinon,there is nothing wrong signing another striker if only to give Giroud or Walcot occasional breather. So many competions in line for us… and what about injuries? We can do with another striker not a new manager anyway.
Arsen Wenger possibly thinks Petr Cech is the only signing he needed to wrestle the title from Chelsea. And Thinks with young Cocqueline in the squad, there is no need to “waste funds” on a defensive midfielder. This way, the dick thinks he/it will generate more profit for Arsenal’s ever greedy shareholders/ Board. With Man Utd acquiring beasts in their midfield (Shwensteiger & Schneiderlin) the best Arsene Wenger can dream of in 2015/2016 season is reclaiming his fourth position.
Thanks bakri……for putting up with a bunch of ignorantly docile, asslicking wenger apologist. I have learnt better. This brigade have unwittingly continued to be the biggest obstacle to the progress of Arsenal FC-by continuously defending a failure as a manger. What an unfortunate situation. Nevermind, the true incompetence of the manager would be evident-per usual-come the end of the season, vindicating folks who’s reasoning aren’t becoulded by sentimentality, bias or ignorance. Understandably, at some point something would have to give, which ever way you want to look at it, the outcome doesn’t look good or flattering for the failure of a manager as is “Arsene Wenger”. Just a matter of time! Cheers mate!
Bonaroca:- To the good Arsenal supporters I think that we are wasting our time telling Mr Wenger and his
Board what to do.
.In my opinion reading all the comments coming out is just a waste of time. Everyone knows that Arsenal
only need two extra players a DM and CF,
Perhaps , Mr Wenger knows better and thinks that his youngsters around could do the job for him and
perhaps win the FA Cup for the third time running and instead of finishing third will now finish second,
which is good enougn to participate next season in the Euro Cup Competition.
Van Gaal is far better than Wenger in terms of building squad winning titles nd even signing quality players
with wenger’s economicity arsenal wil nt probably win the title until wenger leaves
My fellow gunners fans. Don’t u knw wenger transfer window is not open yet. Wenger transfer window will open, when transfer is 2 weeks to be close. Pls my fellow gunners fans don’t be panic, wenger will surely sign quality players for us. When he sign “Ozil and sanchez” who know’s. Pls let jst wait and see what will happen at the end of the season. When wenger say something he surely mean it,when he said he wanted to win FA Cup back to back don’t u see,he won it. GUNNERS TILL I DIE.
Its unbelieveble!!!!!!! Other teams are signing players and at this period Wenger says asernal is fine and does not need a complete striker. What is this???? Am about to withdrawal from my blood club. When will we ever take cups like premier and champions. Wenger should go and we have a manager who can buy us players. Its high time Wenger quite arsenal because he has owned it its part of his family.
I’m certain Le Professor has something under his sleeve.. As usual.. And I’m sure he does know as we all do that wothout signing at least TWO proper players he ain’t getting nowhere. Honestly we have a great squad which needs a little boost to crown it among the best if not the best next season. We clearly short in DM with only Coqulene down there, he needs backup. Another area that really needs strengthening is up front. Giroud is good but as a bench. He’s not a player you can rely on to win you games. If you really want to see the best of Mesut, give him an end product and he will deliver. Lacazette is a good signing if it comes through. Young and promising.. So before any big timer lures him with a crazy contract, Arsene you should go for it. Don’t hesitate!!
