Arsenal will not consider offering a new contract to Alexandre Lacazette.

The Sun says the Gunners will not be offering a new contract to Lacazette and are inviting bids for their former record signing.

French international Lacazette, 30, is now in the final year of his £175,000-a-week Emirates deal and will become a free agent next summer.

But Arsenal have decided against extending the striker’s stay after previously being panicked into handing huge pay rises to Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Now they are trying to find a buyer willing to pay a fee in the region of £15million as well as Lacazette’s substantial salary.

And they will only follow up their interest in Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham if Lacazette leaves this summer.
