Roma are reportedly considering a move for Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Jose Mourinho's side are expected to wave goodbye to Edin Dzeko, who is supposedly being lined up as a replacement for Chelsea-bound Romelu Lukaku at Inter Milan.

Roma were originally thought to be plotting a move for Tammy Abraham as a replacement, but the Serie A side reportedly believe that the Englishman would prefer a move to the Emirates.

With Mourinho now seeking alternative options, Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Lacazette is being eyed up as a potential signing.

However, the report adds that Lacazette is holding out for a move to a Champions League-competing club, while failed negotiations between Arsenal and Roma for Granit Xhaka have led to a strained relationship between the sides.

The Frenchman finished last season as Arsenal's top scorer with 17 goals in all competitions, but his Gunners deal is due to expire in under 12 months' time. body check tags ::
