Lyon chief Juninho targets January return for Arsenal striker Lacazette

Olympique Lyon chief Juninho is working on bringing Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette back to the club.

Off contract in June, Lacazette is preparing to leave the Gunners at the end of the season.

He has been linked with Atletico Madrid and Newcastle United this week, however a return to OL is also emerging as an option.

Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur is reporting Juninho is keen to sign Lacazette in January.

With Karl Toko-Ekambi, Islam Slimani and Tino Kadewere all leaving in the New Year for the African Cup of Nations, Juninho sees the opportunity to sign Lacazette at the same time as ideal.
