Report: Arsenal eager to sign Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal have expressed an interest in signing Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette, according to reports.

The 25-year-old Frenchman scored 23 goals in 43 appearances for the Ligue 1 side last season, though he was not included in the national team for Euro 2016.

According to The Independent, Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has arranged to meet with David Venditelli, Lacazette's agent, later this week.

Arsenal reportedly face competition from fellow Premier League side West Ham United as well as Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid for Lacazette's signature.
