ARSENAL are reportedly showing interest in Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette, the Ligue 1 top scorer, to take some pressure away from Alexis Sanchez.
The 23-year-old has managed 17 league goals this term already, only Cristiano Ronaldo has more in the top five European Leagues this season.
His goals have helped lift Lyon to second in the league and just two points off the top but he's not playing European football this season, a proposition Arsenal can offer him and something he may not want to turn down.
It would take a big bid from Arsenal to lure the French star away from Lyon with big European clubs supposedly tracking the striker.
Yaya Sanogo hasn't cut it at Arsenal yet and Olivier Giroud has been in and out of the team through injury and suspension so Lacazette could fit the bill of a ready made striker to hit the ground running.
