Think Alexandre Lacazette is doing well and his future will be decided at end of season, reveals Mikel Arteta

The French striker has proved his goalscoring prowess for the Gunners through his stint at the club as he has scored 129 goals and registered 43 assists in 275 appearances across all competitions. The 30-year-old was featured sparingly in the starting XI at Arsenal in the early stages of the current season but has taken on a more important role as club captain and leading frontman after the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Frenchman scored a game-winning goal against Wolves in the Premier League two weeks ago and followed that up with two assists in the London club’s 3-2 victory over Watford on Sunday. The Arsenal captain’s contract expires in the summer and talks of a new deal have not been discussed by both parties. Arteta has admitted that Lacazette’s future will be determined in a meeting at the end of the season.

“It is the case. I said to you, at the end of the season where we know where we are, we’ll sit down with those three players [out-of-contract] and between all of us, we’ll decide what we do to move forward,” he added.
