French striker Alexandre Lacazette, 34, is on the cusp of joining Saudi Pro League newcomer Neom on a two-year deal after the expiry of his contract with Olympique Lyonnais, according to L’Équipe. The agreement would see the former Arsenal and Lyon captain continue his career in the Middle East after completing a medical examination with the club. Only a minor administrative detail remains before the transfer is finalised. Lacazette scored 43 goals in Ligue 1 over the past two seasons following his 2022 return to Lyon, where he amassed 184 goals in 326 appearances across two spells. His move adds to the growing list of experienced European players relocating to the Saudi league as it seeks to raise its competitive profile.
