  • Arsenal prepared to sell Aubameyang, Lacazette

    Premier League side Arsenal are prepared to sell their two prolific strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette this summer.

    The Daily Express says Arsenal are leading the £25million race to land Celtic hitman Odsonne Edouard as they look to replace Lacazette and Aubameyang.

    The Gunners are set to sell the experienced duo this summer and former Paris Saint-Germain youngster Edouard is at the top of their wanted list.

    The French under-21 international has got both Lille and Lyon interested in taking him back to France while Borussia Dortmund and Red Bull Leipzig have also watched him.

    But the Gunners head the queue of clubs which also includes Everton who want to bolster their front line this summer.

  • Arsenal striker Lacazette will be out for six weeks due to knee injury

    Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has been ruled out for up to six weeks after having knee surgery on Tuesday.

    The 26-year-old came off the bench and missed a couple of chances as the Gunners were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham in Saturday’s north London derby.

    Lacazette had the operation on Tuesday, which Arsenal described as “a success”.

    “He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation,” Arsenal added in a statement. “It is envisaged he will return within four to six weeks.”

    It leaves the Gunners with Danny Welbeck as the only recognised senior striker for Thursday’s Europa League last-32 tie with Ostersunds FK.

    New signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is not eligible to play in the competition.
