Alexandre Lacazette is likely to leave Arsenal when his current contract expires at the end of the season, according to reports.

The striker has been linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium throughout this year, with rumours of an exit circulating both in January and the summer.

Lacazette remains in north London for now, but he finds himself on the periphery of Mikel Arteta's squad.

The Frenchman has only been on the field for 31 minutes of Arsenal's five Premier League matches to date.

But that simply underlines the fact that Lacazette is not considered part of Arteta's first-choice XI.

“The situation with Laca we will address in the summer, speak to him and just propose the future we want and that’s it,” Arteta said in April. 

“Everything is related to where we are, how much we win and where we are playing next season. 

“There are no exceptions and we all need to be clear with that, with the context we have right now in our industry.”
