Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette has revealed that he hopes the club can win the Europa League in order to keep Arsene Wenger at the club.
Wenger has been under intense scrutiny for the last few seasons from the Arsenal fan base, despite winning the FA Cup last season.
The Frenchman is expected to leave the club in the summer, with a second successive season outside of the top four in the Premier League.
Lacazette, however, is hoping that Wenger can stay and is counting on a Europa League win to save his manager’s job.
Speaking to The Mirror, Lacazette said this:
It can be the way to keep the manager because he did so much good for the club. We want to win trophies.
It will save our season because in the Premier League we are not doing well. Winning a cup would be good.
Arsenal are in the pot for the Europa League semi-final draw on Friday, after they defeated CSKA Moscow in the previous round.
The final of the Europa League this season is to be played in Lyon, Lacazette’s former club.
