Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has told Sky Sports that no discussions are taking place between him and the club.

However, the former Lyon star has said to ESPN that Arsenal are his dream club.

As reported by Sky Sports, the 29-year-old is out of contract at the Gunners in the summer of 2022.

French publication L’Equipe reported in July that Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Juventus are interested in signing the France international striker in the summer transfer window.

Lacazette told Sky Sports when asked if he is in talks with Arsenal over a new contract: “No, we didn’t talk about this. Me, I’m just playing my games and finishing the season to see how it’s going to be but we didn’t talk about anything.”

The French striker told ESPN: “I’m happy with my career because I played for Lyon, my club since I was a child. I played for Arsenal, my dream club in the UK. I’m still happy about my career but obviously I would love to win more trophies and this one can make me happier in my Arsenal journey.”

Arsenal stay

Lacazette has had injury problems this season, and the striker has not been able to make the impact on Arsenal that he would have liked.

However, when the former Lyon star has been fit and available and has played, he has done well.

According to WhoScored, the 29-year-old made 22 starts and eight substitute appearances in the league for the North London outfit this campaign, scoring 10 goals and providing four assists in the process.

It would be best for Arsenal if Lacazette stays at the Gunners beyond the summer.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig have responded to an Arsenal fan on Twitter after Dayot Upamecano signed a new contract with the German club.

Bleacher Report reported last month that the Gunners want to sign the 21-year-old central defender this summer.
