Alexandre Lacazette: Last News

Arsenal could offer Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford an avenue away from Old Trafford in the summer, according to reports.

Arsenal duo Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey have reaffirmed their confidence in clinching a top four finish, as they overtook Manchester United in the race for Champions League qualification.

Mikel Arteta’s free-flowing Arsenal side roared back into the top four with an almost faultless display against Leicester City.Thomas Partey’s classy header and Alexandre Lacazette’s penalty saw the Gunners’ cruise past Brendan Rodgers’ side 2-0.It was a complete display from the confident Gunners who have now won five Premier League matches. But while there were many excellent aspects of the north Londoners’ performance, one cheeky moment from Ben White brought a smile to the faces of Arsenal fans.The incident came in the 73rd minute when Leicester, albeit huffing and puffing, were still in with a slight chance of turning the contest around.After Cedric Soares’ shot was blocked by Caglar Soyuncu, the ball fell kindly to James Maddison who instinctively looked to get his side up the pitch.In fact, the Englishman was one good pass away from triggering a two-on-one counterattack in the Foxes’ favour.And the former Norwich City ace’s pass would have been weighted to perfection if White had not already read the situation.

Arsenal continued their charge towards securing a top-four finish in the Premier League after battling to a 2-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday.Mikel Arteta ’s side got off to a flying start when Thomas Partey took advantage of some poor marking to head home from Gabriel Martinelli’s corner Leicester responded towards the end of the half and Aaron Ramsdale had to be on top form to deny Harves Barnes from close range.Arsenal were awarded a penalty in the second half after Caglar Soyuncu was adjudged to have handled inside the area by VAR and Alexandre Lacazette doubled their advantage. The victory means Arsenal have climbed back up into fourth and have reinstated the one-point gap to Manchester United, with Arteta's men still having three games in hand on the Red Devils.

Arsenal took a huge stride towards playing Champions League football next season as they beat Watford 3-2 away from home to move into the top four.It was an electric start at Vicarage Road as Martin Odegaard calmly slotted his effort past Ben Foster inside six minutes, before Cucho Hernandez equalised with an acrobatic effort just six minutes later.After assisting Odegaard, Bukayo Saka grabbed a goal of his own with a fantastic strike that ended a move of his own making, as he won back the ball before being set up by Alexandre Lacazette.Lacazette was again the provider but this time for Gabriel Martinelli shortly after the break, as Arsenal continued to look dangerous on every attack.But Watford did grab a late consolation through former Tottenham star Moussa Sissoko to make the end of the game uncomfortable for Arsenal, but they held on to secure all three points.Here Daily Star Sport take a look at what Mikel Arteta got right, and what he got wrong as Arsenal jump above Manchester United into the top four.What Arteta got right...Saka has been a revelation for Arsenal since coming through the academy, and he has quickly become one of the most senior players in the squad, even though he is only 20-years-old.His start against Watford was his 99th under Arteta, and the England international was clinical from the off as he provided a brilliant assist for Odegaard's opener, before putting Arsenal ahead before the break.His pace and energy continues to be a menace for defenders, and Watford's January signing Hassane Kamara was torn apart all game by the youngster.Saka's future is bright, but he is a star already, and he is usually involved in anything positive that comes Arsenal's way, and his performance against Watford was

Arsenal’s stoppage-time win over Wolves on Thursday.The Gunners had been behind for most of the Premier League clash after seeing Hwang-Hee Chan latch onto Gabriel’s backpass before finishing from a tight angle just 10 minutes in.Mikel Arteta’s men struggled to find a way past the visitors’ resolute a defence, before Nicolas Pepe’s errant shot beat Jose Sa with just eight minutes of normal time remaining.

Arsenal captain - because you can't put your faith in Alexandre Lacazette.And my old club should start sorting out better contracts for young players like Bukayo Saka right now instead of wasting their money like they have before.They moved one step forward getting rid of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his massive wages - but giving the captaincy to Lacazette was going two steps back.Give it to someone like Tierney and start building now.I like Tierney. I think he'll run through a brick wall for you. I think Ben White could be captain as well.

Arsenal for their celebrations in the wake of their win over his side on Thursday night.The midfielder played all 90 minutes as the Gunners claimed the three points from their trip to Molineux, moving them above Manchester United in the Premier League table.Arsenal defender Gabriel scored the only goal of the game after 25 minutes when he bundled in Alexandre Lacazette's flick-on.The visitors were also forced to play with 10 men for the final 20 minutes of the game, with Gabriel Martinelli sent off after committing two bookable offences within five seconds.Despite their one-man advantage during that period, Wolves were unable to find a way past Aaron Ramsdale in the Arsenal goal.When Michael Oliver blew the final whistle the Gunners players celebrated wildly, something that Neves has taken issue with.Speaking in his post-match interview, the Portuguese star aimed a savage dig at the visitors for the manner of their celebrations, claiming it shows the level they are on.“We did well but we are struggling to score goals and conceding a lot on set-pieces,” Neves said.Who was your man of the match from Arsenal's win at Wolves?

Harry Maguire and Timo Werner are among the worryingly out-of-form players who make our list of 10 struggling players in Europe currently earning over £175,000.Manchester United skipper Maguire failed to build on his fine England performances at Euro 2020 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and now Ralf Rangnick in 2021/22.

Arsenal’s attempts to sign a striker on transfer deadline day ended in failure after the club decided against activating Real Sociedad target man Alexander Isak’s release clause.The Gunners made a late move to swoop for Isak after missing out on Dusan Vlahovic, who joined Juventus in a £63million deal in the last week of the transfer window.They entered negotiations with the La Liga outfit, only to be quoted the clause for the minimum buyout fee written into his contract.La Real reportedly demanded Isak’s £77m release clause to be paid in full and informed Arsenal they would not accept a lower amount.According to The Athletic, the north London club deemed the amount to exceed his actual market value and withdrew their interest, focusing on other targets.The 22-year-old has scored eight goals in 25 appearances across all competitions, but only four in 18 La Liga outings.Isak, a Sweden international, has been tipped as the nation’s biggest attacking talent since Zlatan Ibrahimovic and caught the eye with some impressive performances at Euro 2020.While technical director Edu Gaspar may have been right to decline to pay the clause, the Brazilian will have some feelings of regret after failing to add a striker to Mikel Arteta’s squad before the transfer window shut.The club also approached Espanyol about a move for 12-goal striker Raul de Tomas, but were again told to pay his release clause, revealed to be €75m (£63m) by the club’s president.Soon, it became apparent that Arsenal would not be signing a striker, which means Arteta must cope with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah until the end of the season.Both strikers can leave on free transfers at the end of the campaign as their contracts expire in June, which could

Arsenal are so desperate to sign a striker on transfer deadline day that Mikel Arteta’s assistant has reportedly put in a call to Alvaro Morata. The Gunners look likely to end the January transfer window with a worrying lack of depth up front, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang close to joining Barcelona on loan.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is said to be 'desperate' to sign a striker on Transfer Deadline Day - but the Emirates is not the only possible destination for Alvaro Morata.With former skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang said to be in 'advanced talks' to play under Xavi in La Liga, Arteta and his team are on the lookout for a replacement after missing out on Dusan Vlahovic.However, the Serbian's move to Juventus has provided a window of opportunity, with former Real Madrid and Chelsea striker Morata looking for a new challenge.Step in Arsenal assistant Miguel Molina, who is said to have spoken with Morata directly ahead of a potential switch despite his previous struggles in the Premier League.Spanish outlet AS reports news of the contract between Morata and Molina, but add that their biggest rival also hold last-gasp hopes of a deal.Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is said to fancy a reunion with the forward who scored 15 goals during their 48 matches working together at Stamford Bridge between 2016 and 2017.Morata, 29, begun his career with Real Madrid and returned after his first spell with Juventus, later joining Atletico from Chelsea before his second transfer to Turin - which is a loan deal.The Spain international managed 20 goals in all competitions last season to match his career best, but has not been so prolific this season with eight goals from 29 outings.Would Alvaro Morata impress under Mikel Arteta? Give us your thoughts in the comments sectionDespite that, Morata could be seen as the perfect addition to Arsenal's young attacking line up, especially considering that Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette are out of contract in the summer.Arteta said earlier this month: "Any time I have spoken to any player, they were

Arsenal have suffered a major transfer blow with Juventus beating them to £63million man Dusan Vlahovic.And the Gunners are now weighing up whether to sign a striker like Luka Jovic on loan before spending big in the summer.Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the preferred option long-term but Arsenal know any move for him will have to wait with the Merseysiders in relegation trouble.So they will explore signing short-term help - with Jovic one option that has been presented to the board.Fiorentina star Vlahovic was Arsenal's top target but he is on his way to Juve after talks between the two Italian clubs bore fruit.The final details on the transfer still need to be resolved but the Serbian has already agreed personal terms on a five-year deal.Arsenal need a striker now to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

Arsenal will move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin if they fail to sign Dusan Vlahovic.But any attempt to sign the Everton and England striker will not be made until the summer - and is certain to be strongly resisted by the Merseysiders.Fiorentina star Vlahovic is Arsenal's top target and they have made it clear they are willing to do a deal worth over £50m to bring him in now.But the Serbian international wants to join a club that can offer him Champions League football next season - and Juventus are currently favourites to sign him.Tottenham have also enquired about Vlahovic but Juve believe the player wants to join them.The Gunners also fear Manchester City could yet come into the running for the 21-year-old, who has scored 20 times in 24 games this season.So Arsenal are drawing up contingency plans - and Calvert-Lewin is the man they will turn to if Vlahovic turns them down.The Gunners have kept tabs on Toffees star Calvert-Lewin for years and believe the 24-year-old's best years are still to come.But Everton will resist any attempt to sign him, despite the financial situation at Goodison Park meaning sales are likely this summer whether they stay up or not.Calvert-Lewin is regarded as a key player by the club both now and for the future, with recently sacked boss Rafa Benitez trying to build a team around him.The 11-cap striker started the season with three goals in three games but was then ruled out for four months through injury, and has only recently returned.Arsenal could say goodbye to three strikers between now and the summer with the futures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah up in the air.Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants a big name brought in to help his team take the next step and
