Arsenal transfers hinge on Sanchez, Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain: Lacazette medical done

Lacazette arrived in England yesterday to have a medical that he today passed, with an official confirmation of the club-record signing due.
The Lyon striker, who could cost as much a £52m, will surpass Mesut Ozil's signing as Arsenal's most expensive outlay.
Arsenal have begun their pre-season preparations and it's hoped Lacazette can join his new team-mates on the tour of Australia and the Far East.
He becomes Arsenal's second signing of summer following the arrival of Sead Kolasinac, who joined from Schalke on a free transfer.
