Arsenal join race to sign wonderkid as Alexandre Lacazette Juventus transfer links re-emerge

Arsenal are pushing for Champions League qualification this season.

Their most recent Premier League victory came at Vicarage Road on Sunday, where the Gunners emerged 3-2 winners.

The victory leaves the north London outfit in fourth place, one point ahead of Manchester United, who have played two more league fixtures.

They are now preparing to host Leicester City at the weekend, as they look to strengthen their chances of winning the race for top four.

Regardless of whether they qualify for the Champions League, Arsenal will be looking to strengthen in the summer, primarily in the central forward and midfield areas.

With that in mind, football.london has rounded-up some of the latest transfer rumours surrounding the club.
