On May 17, 2020, Arsenal announced that they were taking reports of striker Alexandre Lacazette inhaling nitrous oxide from a balloon seriously and would handle the matter internally.
The Frenchman was pictured with a balloon in his mouth and reportedly sent a video to friends saying he was 'at home, chilling and doing balloons', according to the Daily Star.
This is not the first time Lacazette has been in trouble for his behavior. In 2018, he was warned by the club after video footage emerged of him and teammates Mesut Özil, Matteo Guendouzi, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang inhaling the gas in a nightclub.
When asked about the latest allegations, an Arsenal spokesman stated, 'This is a private matter which we are taking seriously. It will be handled internally.'
