Arsenal has suffered a huge blow in their quest to land French international striker Alexandre Lacazette. Despite The Gunners looking the most likely to secure the 26-year-old’s signature this summer, Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas has stated that he would prefer to sell his star man to Paris Saint-Germain rather than the Premier League side.
 

The Parisian’s have been invited by the Aulas to make a move for the player and the patron told France Football magazine (via The Express) that; “I know Nasser suggested to Noel Le Graet [president of the French Football Federation] that he is not investing that much in French players because he thought other presidents of French clubs looked badly upon it.”
 

"I want him to know that if he makes an offer for Alexandre at least equal to that of the other clubs bidding for him, then Alex can go to Paris without problem. I am a businessman and a modern club president. Transfer money must be reinvested into French football, as I always did when we were at the peak of our powers. When transfer money is shared abroad, it strengthens our competitors instead."
