Lacazette is still expected to leave as a free agent this summer.

Arsenal head Mikel Arteta has hinted Alexandre Lacazette could stay at the club beyond this season.

The 30-year-old has been in excellent form and has become a quality leader for the North London club.

Lacazette is still expected to leave as a free agent this summer, but Arteta has hinted that the Arsenal are trying to keep him at the Emirates.

Arteta said to the club’s website ahead of Wednesday’s clash with Liverpool, “I think with Alex it’s very clear what he brings to the team.

“He’s shown it consistently since I’ve been here, and what we have to resolve is the contractual timing, in the best possible way, and when we all align on the same page.”
