“I am really happy. It’s only the press that says I’m not happy. From the beginning I’ve said I am happy at Arsenal and I want to play and win titles. We won a title last month so I am happy with Arsenal.” 🎺 @LacazetteAlex’s full interview after #FULARS 👇 : Gunners

Okay, but he still has 2 years on his contract. He hasn’t shown us that he deserves a pay rise + extension yet.

If we don’t sell him this summer, then he will go down to a year on his deal, and we either get a small fee for him, which the fans will all be upset over (“X club got £YYm for their player, why are we getting £ZZm for Lacazette?”) or, he leaves for free.

After getting nothing for Ramsey, Özil and Alexis, who were all saleable assets, we cannot afford to let ourselves get into messy situations like that again.
