Arsenal 3-0 AFC Wimbledon: Mikel Arteta post match
Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette appears to be seeing out his final days at the Emirates Stadium, and if reports are to be believed, a move to West Ham could be in the offing.
Lacazette, 30, joined Arsenal for a fee of £46.5million from Lyon in 2017 in what was then a club-record transfer.
Truth be told, Lacazette hasn't necessarily been a bad signing - with the striker reaching double figures in each of his four Premier League campaigns.
However, elite strikers tend to score 20 goals or more per season if they are to win titles.
And with Lacazette recording a league-best 14, it is no surprise Arsenal haven't won much silverware in his presence.
With Arsenal's need to bring in a young striker for the long-term and with Lacazette only having 10 months left on his contract, it appears he will move on a free transfer.

A report by 90min reports that whilst talks have taken place between Arsenal and Lacazette, it remains unlikely that a new deal will be signed with neither party pushing for an extension.
A move could happen in January when Arsenal could demand a small fee for him to avoid losing him for nothing.
However, it is thought that a summer exit would be preferred.
Lacazette is yet to feature in the Premier League bar a 31-minute cameo in the 5-0 drubbing at Manchester City.
