Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit believes Alexandre Lacazette’s future at the club is under threat.
The striker, who joined the Gunners last summer in a £53million deal, has scored just once in his last 12 games.
And with the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund on deadline day for a club record £56m, it looks as though Lacazette will have to play second fiddle.

Aubameyang scored on his debut in Arsenal’s 5-1 win over Everton, while Lacazette watched on from the bench.
And former Arsenal midfielder Petit insisted the 26-year-old’s time at the club is almost up.
‘Lacazette is under massive pressure,’ Petit told The Sun. ‘He needs to improve or face the exit this summer.
‘Aubameyang’s signing tells me it might already be too late. Arsene Wenger’s belief in Lacazette has gone.’
‘After six months his statistics are not exactly tremendous. Auba is exactly the man Arsenal need.’
Wenger’s side travel to Wembley on Saturday to face Tottenham in the north London derby.
