Football Transfer News:
Arsenal have signed Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon for a club-record fee, reported to be around €53m.
The deal is a massive boost to manager Arsene Wenger, who has finally landed the type of elusive top-class striker he has been seeking for years. Lacazette scored 37 times in 45 games last season, and has netted at least 20 league goals in each of the last three seasons.
The France international is expected to go straight into Arsenal's starting lineup, casting doubts over Olivier Giroud's future at the club, although the 30-year-old has said he hopes to stay.
Lacazette is Arsenal's second signing of the summer after Schalke left-back Sead Kolasinac joined on a free transfer, and provides the club with the sort of big-money star fans have been calling for after a disappointing fifth-place Premier League finish.
