Arsenal
are yet to make an official approach for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette,
according to club president Jean-Michel Aulas.
The
French striker has been linked with several sides including Arsenal and West
Ham United. The reports claimed that the Hammers made a bid few weeks ago.
West Ham made a £31million bid which was reportedly rejected by the French side. While Arsenal who reignited their interest last week are yet to make a bid.

Lyon
president Jean-Michel Aulas told that despite of meeting Arsene Wenger during
the Euro games, the Gunners boss has not told him about Lacazette interest.
Lacazette
has been exceptional for the Ligue 1 side, he has scored 48 league goals in
last two seasons.
The
25-year-old who failed to make it to the Euro squad for France has capped 10
times for them.
Aulas
further told that Lacazette has no intentions to leave the club this summer. He
will stay for another season.
Arsenal
manager Arsene Wenger is looking to bolster his attacking area. The London side
have failed to score enough goals in the past few seasons and current striker
Olivier Giroud who will be a part of tonight’s Euro final has failed to fulfil
the expectations.
Arsenal will not sign him, he is very expensive.
