Arsenal have opened talks with Lyon for Alexandre Lacazette

Premier League side Arsenal have in recent hours opened discussions with Lyon over the possible transfer of striker Alexandre Lacazette, according to BeIN Sports.

This news comes minutes after it emerged that the Gunners have certainly been outbid by Real Madrid for AS Monaco forward Kylian Mbappé in terms of barebones figures at least, as revealed by RMC.

Lacazette was due to join Atletico Madrid this summer before the Court of Arbitration for Sport maintained their recruitment ban, blocking the French international from moving this summer to join Diego Simeone’s men.

Lyon’s asking price is €60m.
