Barcelona are after Frenchman Alexandre Lacazette and are looking at him as a possible alternative in place of Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann.
The 27-year-old has scored 18 goals for the gunners and is only getting better over time since heading over to the Emirates for KSh 6.1 billion from Lyon in 2017.

According to Metro, Barcelona, meanwhile, are in the market for a new forward and have reportedly been in talks to sign Griezmann.
Unai Emery has placed his trust in the Frenchman and it has paid off on several occasion including Arsenal recent 3-1 Europa League victory over La Liga side Valencia.
Lacazette scored a brace and an assist to ferry the Gunners to the Mestalla with a favourable three goal advantage to cushion them into the second leg.
Mundo Deportivo claims that Lacazette is quite close to Barca’s technical secretary Eric Abidal but discussions over a potential move to Camp Nou have not yet taken place.
