Not surprised. The PL is where it's at (financially and prestige) and this would represent a major move for Lacazette, especially to move to a club like Arsenal with it's historic French connections.

I think like Rodger's hinting that £50 million would have been enough for them to sell Suarez three years back, I think the press release is intended to be a message that they're willing to sell for a few million more.

Yeah that's West Ham though. As bad as Zim thinks our stock is right now, we're still a far more attractive proposition to come to than fucking West Ham. Not to defend their constant penny pinching, but I'm guessing Gazidis/Wenger thought that Lacazette would kick up enough of a fuss himself to force through the transfer at a lower fee.

Still wouldn't be surprised if we ended up getting him for either the same or lower than what West Ham bid earlier this summer tbh.
