The Frenchman is one of the older players in the current Arsenal team and they haven’t had much luck in giving deals to players who are over 30 recently.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was in a blistering form in the last two seasons and earned a new big-money deal at the start of this campaign.
However, he hasn’t been in his best form this season and Lacazette has taken over the goal-scoring responsibilities very well.
Lacazette has 15 goals in all competitions so far and scored a brace in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Sheffield United the last time out.
The Telegraph states that Arsenal has recently been linked with a move for Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard, who could cost around £15 million to £20m.
But they would need to sell one of their current options before they can bring in the former PSG teenager.
The same report also says they wanted a fee in the same region for Lacazette, but his current fine form has forced them to consider giving him a new deal.
His goals have been important to Arsenal’s season and they will need some when they face Slavia Prague in the Europa League this week.
