Arsenal target Alexandre Lacazette open to transfer

Alexandre Lacazette has admitted that he will consider leaving Lyon this month if he receives an offer that cannot be refused.

The 25-year-old forward has been pursued by Arsenal this summer, but his club have proven their desire to keep him by rejecting a £29.3m bid from the Gunners earlier in the window.

Despite not completely closing the door on a summer move, Lacazette, who scored a hat-trick in Lyon's 3-0 win over Nancy at the weekend, is happy to remain at the Ligue 1 outfit.

"If there are offers that can't be refused, I'd like to not refuse them, but I'm very comfortable at Lyon," Lacazette told Canal Football Club.

"The proof was there today that I was in the right state of mind. I scored three goals - I'm pleased. With my teammates, everything is going well. So for me all is well."

When asked if there are offers for him to consider, the Frenchman said: "Ask the president."

It was then mentioned that Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has publicly stated that he expects Lacazette to stay.

The striker responded by saying: "I'm going to stay then, if he says so."

Lacazette came through the youth ranks at Lyon, making his senior debut in 2010.
