Arsenal look like losing out on Alexandre Lacazette with Manchester United suffering the knock on effect.

According to a report in The Sun the French striker has given his word to join Atletico Madrid in the summer which is enough for Antoine Griezmann to pledge his future to the Spanish side despite the obvious interest from Manchester United.

Lacazette has been in stunning form this season for Lyon but is ready to quit the club that he has been with throughout his career.

Arsene Wenger has watched the 24-year-old develop from a 20 plus goal striker into one that is getting close to a goal a game.

With Arsenal appearing in disarray over a number of issues the chance to link up with Griezmann and almost guarantee Champions League football is too good for Lacazette to turn down.

Griezmann has been a long term target for Jose Mourinho but despite some interest from the French striker living in the Spanish capital seems his preferred option with Atletico also meeting his footballing ambitions.
