Emery admitted he has long been a fan of Lacazette

Arsenal boss Unai Emery admits he has long been a fan of Alexandre Lacazette and wanted to sign him before PSG swooped for Kylian Mbappe. "When I arrived at PSG we were thinking to sign Lacazette," Emery has said. "We liked his quality and his characteristics and the people who were working there said to us: "This player has the quality to play for PSG". "He was at Lyon and it wasn't easy to sign a player from there for PSG, but he was an option for us."
