Arsenal to make last-ditch Alexandre Lacazette bid?

Arsenal will reportedly make one final attempt to sign Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette before the transfer window closes with a bid of £60m.

The Gunners have been in hot pursuit of the 25-year-old all summer and had a bid of almost £30m rejected by the Ligue 1 side in July.

According to TransferMarketWeb, Arsenal will now meet the club's £60m asking price as they look to shore up their frontline for a tough season ahead.

Arsene Wenger's side have got off to a poor start in the Premier League this term, losing at home to Liverpool on the opening weekend of the season before being held to a goalless draw with champions Leicester City last weekend.

The Gunners are expected to complete the double capture of Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez in the coming days.
