Mikel Arteta will decide Lacazette’s future at the end of the season.

The 29-year old forward has scored three goals in his last five games and has just one year left on his Arsenal contract.

The French striker is Arsenal’s top scorer this season with 11 goals and Arsenal must decide whether a contract extension should be made in the summer.

He has been recently linked with a host of clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Roma and Sevilla but Arteta reiterated that Lacazette’s future will be decided in the summer.

“I am always happy when people talk about our players and speculate, that means they are doing well and they are getting attention from other clubs,” Arteta said.

“The situation with Laca, we’ll address in the summer, speak to him and just propose the future that we want — and that’s it. Now, I just want players focused and only focused on performing and getting the best out of them for the team.

“I think he has been in really good form for months now. I think he is sustaining that level. He is scoring goals and providing the team with something different as well.

“His work rate has been phenomenal and it is what we want. We need those type of players hitting the best level when we want to have the chance to do that, because over the course of the season we have been missing goals, we have been missing that creativity in the final third and we need those players to step in and make the difference for the team.”
