Alexandre Lacazette has been confirmed to be returning to Lyon having spent five years with Arsenal. The club thanked him for his service but have decided to look in a new direction under manager Mikel Arteta.
Lacazette joined Arsenal in an attempt to take the number nine position to a different level, and was tasked with scoring more goals than what Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck had managed in previous seasons. However, Giroud would go on to win more than his Arsenal replacement could muster with Chelsea and Milan.
