Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette has returned to his former club Olympique Lyonnais. The French striker spent five years at the Emirates stadium and was an important player for the Gunners through those years.
Alexandre Lacazette was linked with so many European sides but opted for a move back to his former club and his country. He will feature in the French Ligue 1 and also have the opportunity to fight for a place in the France squad for the World Cup.
Olympique Lyonnais released an official statement on their website to announce the return of Alexandre Lacazette.
“Olympique Lyonnais are very proud and very happy to announce the return to the club of Alexandre Lacazette, a product of the club’s academy, for the next three seasons. Out of contract at English club Arsenal, the French international has signed a three-year deal through June 30, 2025.
“Having transferred in July 2017 to Arsenal for the record sum of €60M (including bonuses), Alexandre Lacazette, at 31, has made the choice to return to the club which has seen him grow and become one of the greatest strikers in its history, despite offers from many major European clubs in recent weeks.”
