Lyon rejects mega Arsenal bid for striker Lacazette

OLYMPIQUE Lyonnaise has refused an offer of 35 million euros (US$38.5 million) from Premier League side Arsenal for striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Lyon says “Lacazette is irreplaceable and one of the main leaders” in coach Bruno Genesio’s team. The 25-year-old Lacazette top-scored with 27 league goals in the French Ligue 1 two seasons ago — outscoring even Paris Saint-Germain’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic — and netted 21 last season. The Frenchman is under contract at Lyon until 2019. In a statement on its Twitter page, Lyon denied a local report saying it turned down a higher offer of 48 million euros from Arsenal.
