The France international has been linked with a move to Camp Nou in the event that Barca fail to lure Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid
Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette said he was flattered by rumoured interest from Barcelona as he added to mounting speculation that a transfer away from Emirates Stadium could be in the offing.
When asked about the Catalan club’s apparent interest by French broadcaster Telefoot, he said: “It’s flattering.”
Lacazette joined Arsenal from Lyon in July 2017 for a reported fee of £53 million ($69m).
The Gunners forward, whose last cap came in 2017, remains hopeful Les Blues coach Didier Deschamps will call upon him, saying: “I’ve been playing well for a while.
“The coach has said he has his group. I’m working on my side and I’m waiting for my time if it comes.”
