ANKARA (AA) - French forward Alexandre Lacazette is returning to Olympique Lyon on a three-year contract.
"Olympique Lyonnais are very proud and very happy to announce the return to the club of Alexandre Lacazette, a product of the club's academy, for the next three seasons. Out of contract at English club Arsenal, the French international has signed a three-year deal through June 30, 2025," the French Ligue 1 team said on Thursday.
Lacazette, 31, previously confirmed his Arsenal departure when his contract expired at the end of June.
Starting his career at Lyon, Lacazette scored 129 goals in 275 matches, becoming the club's fourth-highest goal scorer ever.
In 2017, the forward joined Arsenal from Olympique Lyon.
He netted 71 goals and made 36 assists in 206 appearances for the Gunners, and helped Arsenal take the 2020 FA Cup.
