The future of Alexandre Lacazette continues to be a dominant point of discussion for many Arsenal supporters with the striker’s deal coming to an end at the close of the current Premier League season.
With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang already gone and Eddie Nketiah also soon to follow after his contract ends this June, Arsenal will have just Folarin Balogun as the senior orthodox option in the summer barring the extension of Lacazette or the acquisition of a forward or two in the summer.
The latter seems inevitable but with eight-goal contributions in his last nine games, Lacazette is firmly putting himself in the frame for that new contract and it has become clear that Mikel Arteta is not ruling it out.
