France Striker Lacazette Returns to Lyon

France Striker Lacazette Returns to Lyon

Lyon, France, France striker Alexandre Lacazette is going back to Lyon.

The 31-year-old forward, who was out of contract with Arsenal at the end of June, today returned to the seven-time French champion on a three-year deal.

Lacazette left Lyon in 2017 for a then club-record 60 million euros ($64 million) after joining the French league side at age 12. He played eight professional seasons with Lyon.

With Arsenal, Lacazette scored 71 goals in 206 appearances for the north London club. He made an instant impact in the English Premier League (EPL), scoring 94 seconds into his debut, and was Arsenal’s top scorer in two seasons. He lost his place to Eddie Nketiah over the final weeks of his last season.

Lacazette has 16 caps for France.
