Atlético Madrid set to offer Thomas Lemar in exchange for Arsenal’s Lacazette

Premier League

Atletico Madrid are ready to offer Thomas Lemar to Arsenal in exchange for Alexandre Lacazette if their pursuit of Edinson Cavani ends in failure this January transfer window.

Deschamps explains why he left Lacazette and Martial out of France’s World Cup squad

Trending

Didier Deschamps says he omitted both Alexandre Lacazette and Anthony Martial from France World Cup squad because there is too many striking options to choose from. Both players were left on the stand-by lift for this summer’s World Cup in Russia, despite the Arsenal forward scoring eight goals in his last 10 appearances after returning from injury. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Martial’s absence was less surprising, as he has fallen out of favour under Jose Mourinho in recent weeks and even picking up a knee injury ahead of the FA Cup final. Both players had impressed in friendlies against Germany at the end of last year, but Deschamps felt they were surplus to requirements given the abundance of firepower France has. Deschamps told reporters: ‘Th...
