Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette could be offloaded in the summer if the price is right, according to some reports in England.
The Frenchman is said to have a higher resale value than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with manager Unai Emery apparently not prepared to continue playing both players up front next season.
However, most supporters on Twitter are not giving the story much credence:
Don't believe that for a second

Lacazette has been a regular starter under Emery so far this campaign. He has started 18 of the Gunners’ 26 league games, having made 33 appearances in total.
Although he hasn’t scored as many as Aubameyang, he has found the back of the net 12 times in all competitions, as well as contributing eight assists.
The 27-year-old is well on the way to surpassing the 17 goals he scored last season and reaching the 20-goal mark.
