With French-born striker Narcasidi's contract with Arsenal coming to an end at the end of the summer, the question of his stay and departure has come into focus, attracting a lot of covetousness from the European giants. The 30-year-old goalscorer would undoubtedly be a major loss if he were to leave the club as a free agent, and as such, Arsenal are actively negotiating a one-year extension to his contract.
Since Aubameyang's move to La Liga giants Barcelona, Nakahzidi has firmly occupied Arsenal's starting striker position and shouldered the captaincy. With his contract set to expire this summer, his future is a hot topic of discussion. Arsenal obviously do not want him to become a free agent, according to French media reports, the club plans to extend his contract with Nakahzidi for one year, with the option of a one-year extension, in order to retain the captain.
Apart from Barcelona, Nakahzidi's former owners Lyon have also shown interest in him. However, Arsenal manager Adi Da revealed that there will be no final answer on Nakahzidi's contract extension until the end of the season. The holder of Arsenal's No. 9 shirt, Nakahzidi has been ineffective in 23 league appearances this season, scoring only four goals. Despite recently failing to make the French national team due to international duty, he played for Arsenal and scored a hat-trick in the most recent friendly against Binford B. He has also played in a number of other matches for Arsenal. So will he be able to carry that heroics into the Premier League when the league restarts this weekend?
