President confirms Arsenal and Chelsea £40m target could leave in the summer

He said:”He is still under contract and the club is the decision maker”.

Liverpool target Alexandre Lacazette could hand in a transfer quest to force a move away from Lyon, according to French newspaper L’Equipe. “At no time have I felt a request to leave from him”, manager Hubert Fournier said. I will go on holiday, leave my agent to discuss things, for him to look after all that. As soon as I have decided, I want it all to happen quickly.

“Things can still change”. Everything depends on the destination. The sooner a solution is found, the better it is for everyone.

If the French global is to arrive on Merseyside then the Reds will have to fight off European giants Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich – both of whom have the advantage of Champions League football – as they are rumoured to be keeping an eye on the forward.

In other news, Arsenal has officially announced the squad number of new signing, Petr Cech.

Confidence is high ahead of the upcoming season that Arsenal may finally be able to mount a significant title challenge once again. The 33-year-old explained that he was happy to join a club with ambitions similar to his own. I could stay at Lyon next season and have a awful season, I could leave and have an incredible season. However, the opportunity to play regular Premier League football for a side that have already strengthened in this window might be too good to turn down… The 24 year old forward has scored one goal in 8 appearances for the National team and has scored over 50 goals for Lyon in senor level.

Lacazette would be a terrific addition for Arsenal.
