Arsenal are weighing up the prospect of offering striker Alexandre Lacazette a new one-year deal at the end of the season, according to reports in France.
The 30-year-old – who has scored just four goals in 23 Premier League games this season – sees his contract at Emirates Stadium expire in the summer.
Former club Lyon and LaLiga giants Barcelona have been linked with a move for Lacazette on a free transfer.
Arsenal are said to be weighing up whether to offer Alexandre Lacazette a new one-year deal
The 30-year-old – who has scored just four league goals this season – can walk away for free in June
But French outlet L’Equipe claim Arsenal are considering extending his five-year stay in north London with an offer of a new 12-month contract with the option of a further year.
Lacazette has been handed the captain’s armband since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was frozen out of the squad and then sold to Barcelona in the January transfer market.
But Gunners boss Mikel Arteta revealed earlier this month a decision over Lacazette’s future with the club will not be made until the end of the season.
‘We have discussed that at the end of the season, when we know where we are we are going, to make a decision together [on Lacazette’s future],’ Arteta said.
