LYON, France: France striker Alexandre Lacazette is going back to Lyon.

The 31-year-old forward, who was out of contract with Arsenal at the end of June, returned to the seven-time French champion on a three-year deal on Thursday.

Lacazette left Lyon in 2017 for a then club-record €60 million ($64 million) after joining the French league side at age 12. He played eight professional seasons with Lyon.
