The France international only joined the Gunners in the summer of 2017, but has seen the goals dry up and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang drafted in.
Alexandre Lacazette
Alexandre Lacazette is under “massive pressure” at Arsenal and could be sold in the summer, says Emmanuel Petit.
Having pursued the France international for several years, the Gunners finally got their man in 2017 when completing a £46 million deal with Lyon.
The 26-year-old striker enjoyed a positive start to his time in England, netting eight times by early December.
He has, however, managed just one effort in his last 12 appearances and seen Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang snapped up for £55m to see questions being asked of his ongoing presence in north London.
Former Gunners midfielder Petit believes his fellow Frenchman could be moved on at the end of the season, telling The Sun: “Lacazette is under massive pressure.
“He needs to improve or face the exit this summer. Aubameyang’s signing tells me it might already be too late.
“Arsene Wenger’s belief in Lacazette has gone.
“After six months his statistics are not exactly tremendous.
“Auba is exactly the man Arsenal need.”
Lacazette, like Aubameyang, was acquired on the back of a prolific record at his former club.
