Alexandre Lacazette has become Arsenal's record signing after joining from Lyon in a deal which could be worth up to N21.5 billion (£53 million)

Arsenal confirmed the signing as the France striker pens a five-year deal at the Emirates Stadium.

The former Lyon attacker who had been linked with the Gunners for a while, was at Arsenal's training centre in Hertfordshire on Tuesday to have a medical, with the move finally being completed on Wednesday.


The 26-year-old managed to rack up 37 goals in 45 outings last term at Lyon, a record showing he's among the most talented strikers in Europe.

A club statement on Wednesday evening read: "Alexandre Lacazette has agreed to join us on a long-term contract, for an undisclosed fee.

"He is expected to travel with the tour party to Sydney this weekend and is likely to make his home debut in the Emirates Cup on July 29 or July 30.

"The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said: "We are very happy to have Alexandre join our group. He has shown over a number of years that he can score goals and that he is a very efficient finisher.

"As well, he has very interesting technical qualities and a strong character. So he is a guy who is a great addition for us, and someone who will help us challenge at the top level this season."
