Arsenal 'have not offered striker Alexandre Lacazatte a new deal' despite entering the final year of his contract at the Emirates and Mikel Arteta saying the Frenchman will be 'instrumental' in their success

Alexandre Lacazette has not yet been offered a new deal despite his contract at Arsenal expiring next summer.

The 30-year-old Frenchman has made just two substitute appearances so far this season, including the Gunners' 6-0 drubbing over West Brom in the EFL Cup where Lacazette found the back of the net.

There has been some doubt over his future at the club, though Mikel Arteta this week denied claims that the striker was not part of his first team plans.

ESPN though have reported that Lacazette has not yet had an offer to consider over extending his stay at the Emirates.
