Michael Dawson has said on Sky Sports News (2:06pm, February 12, 2022) that Alexandre Lacazette will stay at Arsenal beyond the end of the season, but Eddie Nketiah will leave.
The former Tottenham Hotspur central defender thinks that Lacazette will sign a new contract with Arsenal.
The 30-year-old France international striker is out of contract at the Gunners at the end of the season.
Striker Nketiah, 22, will also become a free agent in the summer of 2022.
Dawson said on Sky Sports News (2:06pm, February 12, 2022): “I think he will stay. Lacazette will stay. Nketiah is going to go.”
Could Alexandre Lacazette sign a new Arsenal contract?
In our view, there is still a chance that Lacazette could sign a new contract with Arsenal.
We probably would not have said that a few weeks ago.
After all, the season will end in a matter of months, and if a new deal was to agreed upon, it would have been sorted by now.
Ideally.
However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta recently made Lacazette the club captain.
Now, that could change things.
Yes, Lacazette is a senior player in the Arsenal squad, and many would say that it was expected.
However, there are other senior players in the Arsenal squad.
Then why did Arteta make Lacazette the captain?
Maybe, just maybe, there is something going on behind the scenes regarding Lacazette and a new Arsenal contract.
