Arsenal 'willing to sell Alexandre Lacazette for Houssem Aouar funds'

Arsenal are reportedly giving serious thought to cashing in on forward Alexandre Lacazette.

While the Gunners have already enjoyed a productive transfer window, they remain keen to secure deals for Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey and Lyon playmaker Houssem Aouar.

However, Mikel Arteta is aware that funds must be raised through player sales if he wishes to sign either of those two players.

According to The Independent, this has led to the Spaniard contemplating the sale of Lacazette, who has less than two years left on his contract.

The emergence of Eddie Nketiah has left Arteta in a position where he could potentially afford to allow the 29-year-old to leave the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal are also looking to sell midfielder Lucas Torreira before the end of the transfer window.
