Alexandre Lacazette’s five-year spell at Arsenal has officially come to an end, with his return to Lyon now ratified at the expiration of his Gunners contract.
The Frenchman was signed from the Ligue 1 giants in a deal worth £46.5million back in the summer of 2017. And under three managers - Arsene Wenger, Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta - he has led the line, scoring 71 goals in 206 appearances in all competitions.
His final season was unquestionably his most difficult, failing to hit double figures for the only time during his stint in English football. Lacazette ended his stay at Arsenal with the captain’s armband, taking on responsibilities following the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
