It's thought that Arsenal are open to selling Lacazette this summer to allow a deal to go through for Abraham.
According to the Sun, the Gunners are willing to accept bids of around £15m for the former Lyon man.
Arsenal may also need to free up some space on their wage bill, with Abraham seeking a pay rise up to £125,000-a-week from the £80,000-a-week salary he's receiving at Stamford Bridge.

Bellerin has told Arteta he wants to go and Inter Milan remain interested in signing the Spaniard.
However, Arteta may well have settled upon one of his current stars to fill the role.
