Arjen Robben has acknowledged he is slowly nearing the end of his career

Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben has acknowledged he is slowly nearing the end of his career and he is already thinking about life after football.

The Netherlands international recently signed a new deal with the Bundesliga champions that will keep him at the Allianz Arena until 2018.

He has yet to make a final decision on whether he will keep playing at that point, but the attacker is aware that he is approaching retirement.

"I am approaching the end of my career, that is the reality," Robben told Kicker.

"More and more, I am starting to look forward to whatever is coming my way after my career.

"I am very relaxed, I am not worried too much about what will happen in 2018. I am just focusing on the here and now.

"The one thing I know for sure is that I will return to Netherlands after my career, to Groningen. I still have close ties with my boyhood club. I might be able to do something there.

"But I want six months away from the game first and just don't do anything at all."

The 33-year-old scored 13 goals in 26 Bundesliga outings in 2016-17.

Alexandre Lacazette deal to join arsenal almost complete.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has confirmed Alexandre Lacazette's move to Arsenal should be completed "within the next day or two". Arsenal's opening bid of £39m was turned down last month, but significant progress has been made in talks between the clubs. Aulas confirmed the deal is worth up to £43.8m (€50m), meaning it would eclipse the club-record £42.5m Arsenal paid for Mesut Ozil four years ago. Alexandre Lacazette's transfer to Arsenal could be actioned within the next day or two. "The figure reported by the English media of around €67m (including €12m in add-ons) is impossible and not realistic. Arsenal's first offer was around €45m, the transfer will be concluded in the range of €45m to €50m. The striker netted 37 times in 45 games last season "It constitutes, without doubt, a record transfer fee for Arsenal, [sic] and for Lyon of course!"
