Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is set for decisive talks with Mikel Arteta in the coming days, Football London report.

Lacazette has been linked with a move away from Arsenal all summer, and there are now suggestions that he could be used in a swap deal to bring Thomas Partey to the Emirates Stadium.

Lacazette has not been a permanent starter since Mikel Arteta took charge, with Eddie Nketiah often favoured to him.

And it seems that the Frenchman’s days at the Emirates Stadium could now be numbered.

The Daily Star suggested four weeks ago that Arteta wanted to sell him, and that he ‘unhappy’, but no deal has been agreed.

Arteta is now set to speak to Lacazette to get the striker’s feelings about moving away, with the talks said to be ‘pivotal’ to the upcoming decision over his future.

If Arsenal do sell Lacazette, the fear is that the could be left short up-front.

But Football London claim that a move for Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard could be a possibility, if Lacazette does leave.

His departure would also help raise funds for other players, with Arsenal now having to sell to buy before making additions.
