5 players who can help Arsenal win the Europa League next year

#2 Alexandre Lacazette

Lacazette has been linked with a move to Arsenal for a number of years

One of the most wanted strikers this summer, Alexandre Lacazette has a plethora of clubs chasing his signature. On the verge of signing for Atletico Madrid, they’ve been handed a transfer ban, not allowing them to sign players until January. This is something that Arsenal must capitalise on. Interest is high in the Frenchman – should Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang depart Borussia Dortmund, the German club will no doubt look to land a replacemen and who better than the Lyon hitman.

This is why Arsenal must move fast. Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has already confirmed he’s rejected €40 million offers for the 25-year-old, whilst the Ligue 1 club probably won’t sell their star player for anything less than €60m.

With 129 goals in 275 appearances in all competitions for Lyon, he’s one of the most prolific forwards in the modern game.
