Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is wanted by Newcastle United and Marseille as his Gunners contract draws towards its end.
That’s according to The Sun, who claim that Marseille have joined the race to sign Lacazette.
Marseille have already signed a couple of Arsenal players in recent times.
William Saliba and Matteo Guendouzi are both on loan at Marseille from Arsenal, with Guendouzi set to turn the move permanent next summer.
Marseille could now bring another Arsenal player back to France with Lacazette wanted.
Newcastle are also mentioned as being in the race for Lacazette, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
The Magpies will hope to avoid relegation and then spend big next summer under new owners PIF.
Lacazette wouldn’t require a transfer fee next summer, but may command big wages.
Lacazette currently earns £180,000-a-week according to The Mirror, and he may look for similar wages at his next club.
Branded ‘phenomenal’ by Mikel Arteta earlier this season, Lacazette is currently enjoying a run in the Arsenal team.
Lacazette may soon be faced with a real dilemma. Return to France or carry on in the Premier League?
Newcastle can likely offer more money than Marseille can, but it looks like his Arsenal career is coming to an end.
