Stammers claims “Gunners’ boss Wenger is to meet with a representative of the player this week in France. But also interested are West Ham and Champions League runners-up Atletico Madrid. The asking price will be around £45million. The Hammers — reflecting the ambition of their board as they prepare for life in their new home at London’s Olympic Stadium — have already had an offer of £42m rejected.”
Lacazette’s agent recently made it clear the player has no wish to play for West Ham or Spurs, however, one report from is camp suggested that only a move to Arsenal would convince him to move across the Channel this summer. How convenient that Arsenal suddenly want him and are prepared to pay £45m. Sorry Mr Stamers, I am not buying it. We give this rumour a low rating.
