Arsenal striker, Alexandre Lacazette, is in talks to rejoin Lyon when his contract at the Emirates expires at the end of the season, L’Equipe reports.

The Frenchman has rejected the offer of a new deal with the Gunners.

Arsenal offered Lacazette a one-year extension but he is searching for a long-term deal elsewhere.

He is now set to return to Lyon, the club he left for England in 2017, in what was then a club-record arrival of £46.5million.

Lyon president, Jean-Michel Aulas, has already said they will “do their best” to bring the 30-year-old back in June.

And now director Vincent Ponsot further confirmed their interest.

“We’ve seen the maturity that he’s acquired,” Ponsot said.

“We’ve always kept in touch with him.” Bringing in major players, on the other hand, is always a challenge.”

This means Lacazette will depart the club in the same year as his close friend Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Lacazette took over as captain from Aubameyang, who had been stripped of the armband in December.
