Meanwhile, former Chelsea man Tony Cascarino has opened up on Lacazette’s struggles.
And he’s urged the Arsenal star to follow Sergio Aguero’s lead if he’s to stay at the club.
“Alexandre Lacazette needs to up his game,” Cascarino said after Arsenal’s recent goalless draw with Burnley.
“It was not a great game at Turf Moor yesterday and the Arsenal man’s poor display stood out.
“He just does not look as if he is capable of playing the way Mikel Arteta wants. He doesn’t seem to fit the system.

“Lacazette wants to play purely as a goalscorer. That is not enough.
“He has to up his work rate and do the closing down and running his new coach demands of him. At the moment, he looks shorn of confidence because he is not fulfilling his role in the team.
“Sergio Agüero would be a good example for him to follow.
“He knew he could no longer get into the Manchester City team just as a goalscorer. He had to work hard too.
“If Lacazette does not realise that soon, he may find he is not an Arsenal player next season.”
