Lacazette: Arsenal didn't want to sell me in summer transfer window

The French forward saw talk surface after just one season with the Gunners, but he is happy where he is and delighted to have stayed put

Alexandre Lacazette insists a summer move away from Arsenal was never on the cards, with the club having made it clear that they “didn’t want to sell”.

Having spent just one season at Emirates Stadium, the France international striker saw exit talk sparked in the most recent transfer window.

Competition for a starting berth from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and inconsistent form during an injury-hit debut campaign in north London led to suggestions that Lacazette could be moved on.
