Liverpool to swoop for Alexandre Lacazette?

Liverpool could well get their hands on Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette before the closure of the transfer window.

The France international was in sensational form last season, as he notched up 27 goals in 33 league games for Lyon.

French publication L'Equipe reports that Lyon boss Hubert Fournier is distraught with Lacazette's attitude on the pitch since this summer's transfer speculation.

Adding to that, the Frenchman has told the 24-year-old that he is free to exit the club.

Lacazette has earned eight caps with France.
