Arsenal are reportedly pressing ahead with plans to offload Alexandre Lacazette this summer, and Moussa Dembele has been earmarked as a possible replacement.
Despite ending the 2020-21 season as the Gunners' top scorer with 17 goals in all competitions, Lacazette is thought to be one of at least 10 names on the chopping block at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners have been tipped to move for Celtic's Odsonne Edouard as a replacement for his compatriot, but Leicester City are thought to have stolen a march on Arsenal in the race for the 23-year-old.
According to The Telegraph, Arsenal are now primed to move for Lyon outcast Dembele, who endured a nightmare stint on loan at Atletico Madrid in the second half of the 2020-21 season.
The striker suffered a broken arm before linking up with the La Liga champions and also contracted coronavirus in the Spanish capital, with those circumstances and more seeing him not make a single start under Diego Simeone in the league.
In spite of the fact that Lyon are seemingly set to lose Memphis Depay to Barcelona, Les Gones are supposedly open to offers for Dembele, who boasts 45 goals in 108 games for the club.
