# Lacazette dismisses exit rumours

Alexandre Lacazette has been quick to deny rumours linking him with a move away from Arsenal.

The Frenchman was [reported](https://readarsenal.com/2018/08/28/lacazette-reportedly-considering-his-future-at-arsenal/) to have been considering a departure from the Emirates towards the end of the summer transfer window. However, he has since shed light on these claims.

As quoted by [the Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1012483/Arsenal-news-Lacazette-Petr-Cech-Bernd-Leno-Barcelona-Ousmane-Dembele-rumours-gossip-news), Lacazette confirmed that he has no intention to leave Arsenal at any time in the near future.

> I don’t know who said this stuff, but I am at one of the best clubs in London and I am happy at Arsenal. It’s always going to be hard to be in the first XI at a club like this, but I always keep fighting and working.

> I won’t play every week just because of one game. Every day I have to work and show the coach I work well and I deserve my place.

Lacazette has been used sparingly by Unai Emery since his arrival at the Emirates but appears to be nailing his place in the starting line-up down following a superb display at Cardiff City at the weekend.

The 27-year-old striker was in fine form and set Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal up before lashing home the decisive strike as the Gunners came away with a 3-2 win.

Lacazette struggled to develop consistency under Arsene Wenger last season but has started the new campaign sharply in a new-look Arsenal side.
