Arsenal are strongly tipped to make a bid for Alexandre Lacazette.
According to a report in the Mirror it’s between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid to find out where the Lyon striker will be playing next season.
Lacazette has scored 23 goals in 25 appearances in Lique 1 but even that strike rate is unlikely to get Lyon into a Champions League spot.
Arsenal are almost resigned to losing Alexis Sanchez but could struggle to attract a top class replacement if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Atletico look like qualifying again for the Champions League which would certainly appeal to the 25-year-old striker who has spent his entire career to date with Lyon.
The French side are looking for £30m for their top scorer but unless Arsenal can quickly sort out the confusion over the future of Arsene Wenger they could lose ground in the race to snap up Lacazette.
