“I think that the right moment has arrived to leave,” Lacazette told French outlet Canal+.
“I think that this summer I will need a change of scenery and discover something else, still with the idea of advancing and progressing in terms of football and as a person.
“I will continue to work, in the hope that good opportunities will come this summer.”
