It has been revealed that Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette held talks with Paris Saint-Germain before joining the London club this summer. The
26-year-old joined the Gunners this summer from Lyon for a fee that could rise to £52m.
Lacazette was coming off a sensational 2016/17 season that saw him score 36 goals for Lyon in 44 appearances. That form attracted interest from big-spending PSG but Lacazette says the lure of testing himself in the Premier League persuaded him to join Arsenal.

He said “We talked to PSG but I knew it was not where I wanted to go. In France,
I would only play for Lyon. PSG could have helped me progress because they of
the big players they have but I wanted to play in another league.”
