Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has debunked reports that Alexandre Lacazette’s future is in doubt at the Emirates.

The Frenchman has not played as much as fans have expected so far this season.

However, Arteta puts that down to fitness and tactics, as he believes that he can count on Lacazette throughout this term.

Asked if Lacazette’s future was in doubt, Arteta told reporters: “No, he’s fully involved.

“You give the reasons why he hasn’t played more minutes and he will be back to the form that he can achieve.

“I am sure that he will be instrumental in our success.”
