London
side Arsenal are keen to sign duo strikers Gonzalo Higuain and Alexandre
Lacazette from Napoli and Lyon, respectively.
Higuain
who has also been linked with Liverpool has already said that he will leave the
Serie A side this summer.
While,
Napoli chairman Aurelio de Laurentiis has also hinted that he could sell the Argentinean
striker. However, the club will not sell him for less than £30million.
Daily
Star also added that the 27-year-old is keen to join the North London side and
is pushing his club to allow him to leave.
Meanwhile,
on the other hand Alexandre Lacazette has been in link with the French boss
Arsene Wenger for the past few months.
Wenger
is keen to bolster his strike line after the failure of strikers last season. Both
Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck failed to make an impact last term and
Wenger is hoping to seal these both deals.
Lyon
coach Hubert Fournier has also admitted that their star player is set to leave
the club.
“He
is still under contract and the club is the decision maker. At no time have I
felt a request to leave from him.”
