Ligue 1 goal machine eyes Premier League move

 

Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette has ruled out a January move but already has one eye on a move to the Premier League in the future.

 

Lacazette, 24, has been regularly mooted with a move to the Premier League since ending last season as the top goalscorer in Ligue 1.

 

Arsenal are one of the clubs to have been frequently linked with the France international, but the Lyon No.10 is completely focused on finishing this season with Lyon before making a decision on his future after the Euro’s this summer.

 

“Yes, I am thinking about it and the Premier League is very attractive for a player,” Lacazette told the Daily Telegraph. “But I know that to go there I have to do well this season. So I am very concentrated on doing well and maybe, after that, I will go there.

 

“So I know that it is possible that I will move to the Premier League and Lyon are aware of that also. There is no formal agreement that I will go but the president [Jean-Michel Aulas] knows that it’s a possibility that I will leave Lyon at the end of the season.”

“I will stay at Lyon in January,” Lacazette reiterates. “I have some personal objectives to follow from now until the end of the season. Then at the end of the season we will see. I will speak about staying or not at Lyon.”

 

Since the start of last season no player has scored more goals in Ligue 1 than Lacazette, who is level with Zlatan Ibrahimovic (both 34).
