Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has admitted he has stopped talking to fellow forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang about his future at the club.
Aubameyang has less than one-year remaining on his deal at the Emirates Stadium, with fans eagerly awaiting news as to whether he will be extending his stint.
Arsenal face a difficult period in the summer transfer window, which comes in unprecedented times amid the economic crisis following the coronavirus pandemic, and those challenges will be increased significantly if Aubameyang was to depart.
Lacazette, who has a close relationship with Aubameyang, was unable to offer an insight into the situation though as he admitted they have stopped talking about the situation.
“We stopped talking about this because at the beginning it can be funny, but after a long time it can be annoying because he wants something that is not maybe the way he would like," he told BeIN Sports.
"I don’t want to be the guy a bit annoying so we didn’t really speak about his future.
“He is already I think one of the legends because of the amount of goals he has scored. But to be honest, I am just going to wait like everyone else, and just hope he tells me before the press.”
Lacazette's future at the club has also been brought into question but the France international reiterated his desire to stay put.
“I’m in contact with the club so obviously when I sign I wanted to win trophies," explained the French international. “We have a chance on Saturday to go to the final so as soon as I can progress and the club wants me, I want to stay.”
