Mikel Arteta has no doubts Alexandre Lacazette will give his all to Arsenal as questions over his future remain, insisting “anything is possible” when it comes to the striker signing a new deal.
Lacazette’s contract expires at the end of the current season and the 30-year-old is free to speak to foreign clubs from January. The France striker has played just 72 minutes of Premier League football this season, but he grabbed a last-gasp equaliser off the bench in Monday’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
Lacazette will now be pushing for a start when Aston Villa visit the Emirates Stadium on Friday night.
While there is no new offer currently on the table, Arteta is not worried by Lacazette’s work ethic.
“I had no doubts about that,” he said.
