Paul Merson demands Arsenal release Alexandre Lacazette even if he scores 10 goals

Paul Merson says Arsenal must learn their from their mistakes and release striker Alexandre Lacazette at the end of the season - even if he scores 10 goals.

Lacazette's deal with the Gunners expires in June and despite manager Mikel Arteta being keen to keep him in north London, the 30-year-old is holding out for a long-term contract, having opened talks with former club Lyon.

Despite Lacazette's importance to the team at present - filling in as captain since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was frozen out and eventually moved on - Merson wants to see the £46.5million signing shipped out.
