As for what they valued him at last year compared to this, we do have about £40m extra to play with this summer and one of our signings came on a free, so i imagine there's around £100m or so in the budget and they'll probably sign two more players. Last year £100m had to go on a centre back, centre mid and a striker so that might have been why they didn't want to stump up £50m+ for Lacazette.
Just a theory of course. Nobody really knows.
