# Arsenal will make a final bid for Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal will make one final offer for French striker Alexander Lacazette to tempt Lyon into selling the forward, just days since the Ligue 1 club embarrassed the Gunners by making their offer public.

Lyon was angered by Arsenal when the Gunners placed a £29.3 million offer for the 25-year-old forward,and the French club decided to make their rejection public, given their bid was £3 million less than West Ham’s offer.

Arsene Wenger spoke openly of his desire to sign another ‘experienced’ striker, due to the lack of options up front. The *[Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/)* reported on Saturday that the Premier League club will make a £35 million final offer to Lyon in hope they will allow the French International to leave.

Arsenal are currently missing two first-team strikers,with Danny Welbeck injured and Olivier Giroud set to miss the opening game of the season due to a lack of fitness,after he helped France to the final of the European championships this summer,however,Theo Walcott is an option for Arsene Wenger,but the 26-year-old struggled as lead striker last season.
