Race hots up for Alexandre Lacazette

Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette will soon have to make a decision on his future as top European clubs are readying to step up their interest in his services.

After resisting temptation to cash in on their star striker in the past few transfers window, les Gones have decided to entertain offers in the summer.

This was confirmed few days ago by Lyon chairman Jean-Michel Aulas, and France Football has now identified four clubs that currently lead the chase.

With Alexis Sanchez being heavily linked with a summer exit and Arsene Wenger still not convinced Olivier Giroud is good enough, Arsenal could make a move on long-term target Alexandre Lacazette.

Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund have the Lyon striker on the list of potential targets if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leaves the club, while Atletico Madrid and Liverpool complete the list of clubs who stand a decent shot at securing the signature of the player who already bagged 26 goals this season.
