Lyon president makes huge Alexandre Lacazette return claim amid Arsenal exit links

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has claimed that the French club will “make compromises” in a pursuit to re-sign Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette this summer. It comes as the Frenchman looks set to leave the Emirates this summer as a free agent.

For the meantime though, the 30-year-old could yet have an important role in the top four race. Tottenham lead the way in fourth, two points clear of the Gunners, though Spurs have played one game more as it stands.

Having recently lost to their North London rivals, putting them in this position in the race for Champions League qualification, Mikel Arteta reflected on whether the defeat has damaged his squad’s confidence: “That it was a possibility and that we knew that to get in the position that we are today, a lot has happened in the past and we've been through it, we've experienced it and hopefully, that can help us again on Monday.”
