The Frenchman left Lyon for Arsenal in 2017 and helped them
to win the FA Cup.
The Gunners are rebuilding their team and decided not to
extend his stay at the Emirates beyond this summer.
Reports linked him with a move to several clubs, but he has
now agreed to a return to France with Lyon.
He was one of the highest-paid players at the Emirates, but
Lyon can hardly afford half his wages, so he had to sacrifice most of it to
return to the Ligue 1 club.
While speaking to reporters, he admitted to taking a
financial hit and revealed why.
The striker said, as quoted by Talk Sport: “My love for the
club was enough (for me to take a pay cut). The project is also very important
for me.
“It was a decision I took with those close to me and in the
end, I’m happy. It is moving to rediscover this stadium. I can’t wait to wear
the shirt.”
When players return to their former clubs, they are mostly
motivated by the chance to help the team.
Lacazette is no different, and we wish him the best of luck
as he tries to help the Ligue 1 side become a top club again.
