Arsenal are lining up a £75million double deal that would bring Riyad Mahrez and Alexandre Lacazette to the Emirates. Manager Arsene Wenger wants to bolster his attack after a lack of goals cost his team dearly in last season's battle to be champions. Wenger wants to bring in new blood ahead of the Premier League opener with Liverpool, a match where he could be without FIVE recognised first-team players. France international Lacazette, also 25, has been lethal in Ligue 1 and Wenger had a meeting with his agent during the European Championship this summer. The Gunners eventually finished as runners-up to Mahrez's Leicester, and now Wenger wants to ensure they make a sustained challenge for their first Premier League title since 2004 this season.
