Arsenal are still looking to at both Alexandre Lacazette and Kylian Mbappe this summer.

And whilst Arsenal are very much in the mix for Mbappe – that has not stopped them pushing ahead with talks over Lacazette.

Arsenal want to pay less than £40million – but French sources believe a deal is close with The Gunners ready to pay Lyon’s asking price.
Wenger, who is ready to let both Olivier Giroud and Lucas Perez leave this summer – if he gets attacking options in, is confident that both Lacazette and Mbappe could end up in his squad before the start of the season.
Lacazette is the priority for Arsenal as they know that deal is close, whilst Mbappe could yet remain at Monaco – despite interest from around Europe.
Bookmakers believe Lacazette is Arsenal bound, and he is 4/11 to land at The Emirates – whilst Mbappe is 5/2 with Ladbrokes.
Ladbrokes also make the double deal 8/1 for both players.
