Liverpool still keen on Alexandre Lacazette

Liverpool will look to continue their summer spending spree by making a formal approach for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

The France international has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League, in spite of manager Hubert Fournier ruling out the player's exit from the Ligue 1 outfit.

French publication L'Equipe now reports that the Reds boss Brendan Rodgers will make a £21.7m bid for the 24-year-old, who notched up 31 goals in 38 outings for Lyon last term.

Premier League rivals Arsenal are also monitoring the proceedings.
