Reports have emerged in France tonight that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has agreed to meet Lyon’s asking price of £44 million for last season’s West Ham target Alexandre Lacazette which if true ifs great news for the Hammers.
The reports claim that the transfer will be confirmed by both clubs next week, with just one more meeting scheduled to take place which would finalise the switch.
A Lacazette switch would open the door for Olivier Giroud to make his move away from north London with Hammers enthusiastic to give him a new start at the London Stadium.
However, Wenger may have to beat off a bid from Manchester City for Alexis Sanchez before finally okaying the Giroud switch
