                  Arsenal look set to sign Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Sky Sport News HQ understands the deal will see Arsenal shatter the £42.5m club-record fee they shelled out to sign Mesut Ozil four years ago.

Sources close to the France international are confident a deal worth more than £50m including add-ons will be concluded, despite Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas declaring earlier this week he expected Lacazette to remain at the club.
