'Lacazette would be a great addition for Arsenal' - Silvestre backs move for Lyon striker

The former Gunners defender believes Arsene Wenger should bring in a proven marksman, while urging another French forward to stay put at Old Trafford

Alexandre Lacazette would be “a great addition” for Arsenal if they can push through a £57 million deal, says Mikael Silvestre.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with the Lyon striker for a number of years and are finally in a position to discuss a big-money transfer.

Silvestre believes a move would make sense, with Arsene Wenger in need of another proven frontman.

He feels that Lacazette would complement those already at Emirates Stadium and benefit from playing alongside an enviable collection of creative influences.
