Arsenal could consider including Alexandre Lacazette in their offer for Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri, according to journalist Rudy Galetti.
The Italian reporter claims that the Gunners have asked for information about the Moroccan international and would be prepared to offer up their number nine as part of the transfer:
🚨🔃 #Arsenal‘s interest in #EnNesyri continues to grow 🇲🇦. #Gunners, after asking #Sevilla for information, may decide to include #Lacazette in a future negotiation. Evaluations in progress. 🐓⚽ #Calciomercato #Transfers #EPL #Liga https://t.co/Wcj0sQ4QUB

Lacazette is out of contract at the end of the season so this story only makes sense if the deal is done in the January transfer window.
Arsenal’s interest in En-Nesyri has been mentioned by a number of different sources now, so there is likely to be some substance to the rumours.
Other teams, including West Ham, have kept an eye on the 24-year-old, but the Gunners appear to be in pole position for the forward’s signature at the moment.
En-Nesyri scored 24 goals for Sevilla last season, and his rich vein form has continued this campaign, having already hit the back of the net twice in four appearances.
