Mikel Arteta hails Arsenal fans ahead of north London derby
Arsenal could be plotting to use Alexandre Lacazette as part of a swap deal for Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri, according to reports. Lacazette is entering the final nine months of his Arsenal contract and isn't thought to be close to renewing terms at the Emirates Stadium.
Adidas and Arsenal have launched their official 2021/22 home jersey, inspired by the club's mantra of 'Arsenal for everyone'.
The 30-year-old is yet to start a Premier League game this season, with his only appearance coming in the final 31 minutes of Arsenal's 5-0 humiliation at Manchester City.
He has scored two goals and registered an assist in the Gunners' two Carabao Cup games, though, and seems to have potential suitors.

According to Estadio Deportivo, Arsenal welcome Sevilla's interest in Lacazette and are willing to enter talks over a swap deal.
The La Liga outfit are set to temporarily lose Munir and En-Nesyri in the new year due to the African Cup of Nations, leaving the need for a new striker.
Mikel Arteta wants to use Lacazette to reduce En-Nesyri's fee, which has been previously touted as £68.5m (€80m).
Arteta's reported interest comes as no surprise given the 24-year-old's recent goalscoring exploits in La Liga and the Champions League.
