Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta still has not decided whether to keep Alexandre Lacazette for next campaign, according to goal.com

Arsenal are planning to sit down with Lacazette to discuss terms over a new contract in the coming days.

The French international has just two years left on his current deal, which means that Arsenal could be under pressure to sell if he doesn’t sign a new deal. 

The Gunners are now set to discuss Lacazette’s future with him, but Arteta seemingly is in two minds over keeping the French striker.

Lacazette is one of Arsenal’s top earners, and has not enjoyed his best season over the past campaign.

While he has forced his way back into Arteta’s starting line-up in recent weeks, and started the FA Cup final, he has been outshone by other attackers in Arsenal’s side and there are no guarantees he will be a regular starter next season.

Le10 suggest that Arsenal’s task of keeping Lacazette could also be made harder by Juventus’s interest. 

The Serie A champions are said to be in contact over signing the forward, and Lacazette is believed to be ‘keen’ on joining Cristiano Ronaldo and co in Turin.
