Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is desperate to extend the contract of Alexandre Lacazette, to fend off interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
The France international had a very good season at Lyon where he scored 22 goals in 54 appearances in all competition.
Lyon president Aulas is desperate for Lacazette to sign an extension to his current deal, which still has two years left to run, as he fears losing his talented centre forward this summer, according to French daily Le Progres.
The 23-year-old, who is a product of Lyon’s youth academy, has still to sign an extension to his contract and is evaluating his options.
