Barcelona target Arsenal forward

 

Barcelona have their eyes on a move for Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette, with the La Liga champions readying a £70m summer move, reports the Sunday Express. 

 

The French forward has been in fine form for the Gunners this season, netting 13 times and registering eight assists in the Premier League for the north London side. 

 

Lacazette put in a man of the match display in Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Valencia and was named the Europa League player of the week as a result as Arsenal go in search of European glory. 

 

And his good form in England hasn’t gone unnoticed either, with Barcelona keeping tabs on the former Lyon star. 

 

The Blaugrana are eyeing up successors for Luis Suarez, with Luka Jovic and Antoine Griezmann two forwards who have been targeted by Barcelona. 

 

Arsenal boss Unai Emery needs to offload players to strengthen his side this summer, but Lacazette, who has formed a fine partnership with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, is a player the Spaniard is keen to hang onto. 

 

 

Lacazette will look to put in another star performance when Arsenal host Brighton today, with the club looking to leapfrog north London rivals Tottenham in the race for a top four finish ahead of next week's final round of games.
