There is a widely-held stereotype that Premier League footballers are far-removed from reality, but Alexandre Lacazette is looking to disprove that.

The Arsenal superstar, who earns in the region of £200,000 a week in north London, took a trip to Tesco with his partner on Wednesday to pick up some essentials.

Lacazette is not in the Gunners' squad to face BATE Borisov on Thursday, so while his team-mates headed to Belarus, he ran some errands with his girlfriend.

The Frenchman arrived at the supermarket in a bright red Ferrari 488GTB, worth in the region of £250k, parking at the side of the street before heading inside.

He and his partner grabbed their shopping, including two cucumbers, before queuing to pay in the Hampstead Express store.

Lacazette then headed back to his supercar, with a 10p bag for life in hand, before driving home - perhaps to enjoy a night of Champions League action.

The Arsenal man will surely be desperate to play his own part in Europe's premier competition next season, but for now the Gunners will have to make do without.

Arsene Wenger's side face BATE Borisov on Thursday in their second Europa League tie of the season, following on from a 3-1 home victory over Cologne last time out.

In the Premier League, the north Londoners are three games unbeaten, recording two wins and a draw - against Chelsea - in their previous fixtures.

With Lacazette playing a vital role in his side's recent matches, he has been afforded the luxury of staying home this week.

Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey, Granit Xhaka, Laurent Koscielny and Hector Bellerin are also still in London, while a number of youngsters boarded the plane.

Young prospects Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah, Josh DaSilva and Joe Willock were among the travelling party leaving Luton Airport on Wednesday.
