Arsenal target Alexandre Lacazette has admitted that he is open to a transfer this summer but only if Lyon are willing to sell him.
The Gunners had a sizeable offer for the France international striker rejected earlier this summer with talk in the press that Arsene Wenger’s men would return with an improved bid for the hotshot attacker.
However, with only a couple of weeks left in the transfer window, it remains to be seen if the North London club can conclude a deal to sign a new centre forward to provide competition for Olivier Giroud.
Lacazette was interviewed on Canal + and admitted that he would be willing to listen to offers from overseas but only if Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas accepted an offer for the star’s services.
Alexandre Lacazette: "If offers come in that one cannot refuse, I don't want to refuse them. If not, I am happy at Lyon." (C+)

Arsenal opened their Premier League campaign with a 4-3 defeat to Liverpool, with Giroud’s absence again highlighting the need for the Gunners to sign a new centre forward this summer.
