Au Revoir, Alexandre! Lacazette brings to an end his five-year stay at Arsenal by sealing an emotional return to his boyhood club Lyon on a free transfer, signing a deal until 2025

Alexandre Lacazette has completed his emotional return to Lyon, leaving Arsenal for a three-year deal in France.

Lyon holds a special place in the Frenchman's heart having first arrived at the club in 2003 as a starry eyed 12-year-old.
