Maglia Real Madrid 2022, Maglia Argentina 2022
Alexandre Lacazette has confirmed he is in talks with a number of clubs ahead of the expiry of his Arsenal contract and outlined his desire to return to the Champions League.
That is when the Gunners intend to make a decision on his future though the 30 year-old is already free to negotiate with foreign clubs.
Lacazette missed Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat at Southampton which dented their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League due to Covid and is a doubt for their upcoming games against Chelsea and Manchester United.
Martin Odegaard captained Arsenal from the start for the first time against Southampton in the absence of Lacazette and also the injured Kieran Tierney.
And Sportsmail understands there is an emerging feeling held by some within the Gunners dressing room that the Norwegian is in pole position to be handed the honour permanently next season.
Odegaard was named Norway captain last March and Arteta has talked up the leadership qualities of the 23 year-old, who joined permanently from Real Madrid last summer.
