Official: Lacazette leaves Arsenal

Alex Lacazette will leave Arsenal at the end of his current contract, which expires on June 30.

Since joining the Gunners from Lyon in July 2017, Lacazette has made 206 appearances in all competitions, scoring 71 goals.

The 31-year-old was Arsenal’s top scorer in two seasons, in 2017/18, and also in 2020/21, when he scored his 50th Premier League goal in the win over Sheffield United in April 2021.

That moved the French striker into the all-time top ten goalscorers for Arsenal in Premier League history, scoring his first goal just 94 seconds into his league debut against Leicester City in August 2017.

Lacazette won the FA Cup with Arsenal in 2020, was on the FA Community Shield winning team in 2017 and was voted the best player of the season at Arsenal for 2018/19.

Prior to joining Arsenal, Lacazette had played for his hometown club, Lyon, scoring exactly 100 goals in Ligue 1 during his seven years on the French club’s first team.

In all likelihood, he is expected to return to Lyoni, to conclude his career.
