Kevin Campbell has said on Highbury Squad that Alexandre Lacazette will leave Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
The former Arsenal striker is confident that Lacazette will not be at the Emirates Stadium when next season starts.
The £46.5 million striker (BBC Sport) is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season.
No new deal has been agreed between Lacazette and Arsenal.
Kevin Campbell on Alexandre Lacazette’s Arsenal future
Campbell said on Highbury Squad: “Lacazette is not staying, that’s for sure. He is not staying.”
Arsenal exit inevitable?
In our opinion, it is almost inevitable that Lacazette will leave Arsenal at the end of the season.
We do not think that Arsenal will sell the former Lyon star in the January transfer window.
Arteta needs Lacazette for the rest of the season, especially with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang struggling for goals at the moment.
The Arsenal boss has also publicly praised the 30-year-old striker.
However, in our view, Lacazette will not stay at Arsenal beyond the end of the season.
If an agreement were to be reached, it would have been sorted by now.
The former Lyon star does not play regularly, and he himself may not want to stay at Arsenal and just be a back-up.
