Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette has no future at the club and there’s a big chance that he could join a Premier League rival next year.
According to a report in Jeunes Footeux, the forward will be sold during the January transfer window and Everton along with West Ham United are keeping a close eye on the situation.
The French forward has played only 49 minutes in the Premier League this season so it’s pretty obvious that he will not be given a new contract by the club. Therefore, Mikel Arteta will look to cash in on him at the start of the new year.
West Ham United are looking to bring in a partner for Michail Antonio and someone like Alexandre Lacazette could be the perfect solution to all of Moyes’ problems.
Everton, on the other hand, are living with the fear of losing DCL which is why they are looking to make a move for the Arsenal misfit in January.

His current market value is £20 million but since he will only have six months left on his contract, Arsenal will let him leave on a bargain deal. So the transfer fee will not be a problem for Everton or the Hammers.
But at Arsenal, Alexandre Lacazette currently earns €10m per season, a fee which neither of the two suitors can afford. So, if he wants to remain in the Premier League beyond the summer then he will have to take a significant pay cut.
Having said that, a few European clubs have also been linked with the Arsenal forward but we don’t think any of these interests are genuine so Laca’s safest bet will be to remain in England, especially now that Everton and West Ham United are interested in him.
