Ex-Arsenal star Lacazette will be hauled in for Lyon showdown talks after he gives awkward answer about manager’s future

EX-ARSENAL captain Alexandre Lacazette is set to be hauled in for crunch showdown talks with Lyon.

The Frenchman re-joined the Ligue 1 side in the summer after leaving Arsenal on a free transfer.

However, just a few months after joining his future already looks bleak.

Manager Peter Bosz revealed he would be speaking to the striker, but denied there was a rift between the pair.

During a press conference, he said: “I will speak to him about that, not to you (a journalist).

“In response to your question: is there a fracture (between me and Lacazette)? – no.”

Lyon have struggled this season and currently sit down in seventh in Ligue 1 with 14 points from 10 games.

Bosz is coming under increased pressure to improve results at the club, and could see his managerial duties relieved by the World Cup if they do not.

In an interview with Prime Video Lacazette gave a cryptic answer when asked about whether the team understood the manager’s instructions.

He said: “You are asking that question to the right person. I don’t decide that. Ask the person who makes the decision.”

Lacazette has four goals and two assists from 10 games this season.

However, his comments will come as a big blow given the 31-year-old’s position as captain in the team.
