Ornstein states the the negotiations are continuing but Arsenal are expected to sign Lacazette in a club-record fee.
Mesut Ozil is the current club-record signing after he joined the club from Real Madrid for £38.2m in 2013.
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for Lacazette this summer and are thought to have already had a bid rejected.
The French international scored 37 goals in all competitions for Lyon last season, with 29 goals in 30 Ligue 1 appearances.
Arsenal are looking for marquee signings this summer to convince Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez to stay at the club.
