Lyon attacker Alexandre Lacazette has admitted that he is quite happy where he is at the moment and said he has no desire to leave Lyon. The youngster has been heavily linked to the Premier League with sides like Arsenal and Liverpool very much interested in roping him in, but he has no desire of leaving where he is at the moment, states L’Equipe.

The 23-year-old Lacazette has made 17 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season, scoring 13 goals assisting on 4 occasions and looks set in the Ligue 1. So Arsenal and Liverpool's interest are not out of the blue given the fact that these two sides have been very poor in attack so far this season.

But France international has revealed that he remains committed to the Ligue 1 club.

“For my part I have not expressed a desire to leave. It seems obvious to me to stay and continue with this project,” Lacazette told L’Equipe.

Other side, Mattia Destro's future looks to be shaped at Arsenal as metro.co.uk suggests that the player's agent visited London in order to wrap up the deal for Destro's possible January entry into Arsenal squad.

Further to speculation, The Sun also suggests that the fees is likely to be around £20 to £23 million with Wenger all set to utilise him to shift the burden off Giroud and Welbeck's shoulders.

Destro has not turned down the speculation entirely and recently was found telling the Italian press:

"Arsenal for me? The rumours are good, I’m happy for them.This is the proof that I’m doing my work well."

Truly speaking Arsenal's issue to address immediately is in the defense plus midfield. Weak defense especially in the absence of L. K, attacking midfielders are forced to return deep to help. There is need to consider recruiting 2 defenders and one defending midfielder. Per is also off now with 50% deterioration in his performance.

Why oh why are we still talking about strikers when the problem is the defence. Maybe the new formation will be 0-5-5 no need for defenders??
