Alexandre Lacazette is set to be revealed as a Lyon player once again on Thursday after returning to his boyhood club on a free transfer - five years after leaving to join Arsenal in a £48m move

Alexandre Lacazette is expected to be announced as a Lyon player once again after choosing not to renew his contract with Arsenal.

Les Gones have scheduled a press conference tomorrow morning at 9am where it is thought the signing will be made official to the media, according to RMC Sport.

Lacazette will rejoin his boyhood club, having left France for Arsenal five years ago in a £47.7million deal, the only other club he has played for in his 13-year senior career.
