Man Utd lead Lacazette chase

Manchester United are apparently heading the queue to sign unsettled Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette. The France international had been the subject of Premier League interest last year before he inked a long-term deal at Les Gones.

The 24-year-old has since then kept up his form in the domestic league, scoring 17 goals in 30 outings for his club.

French sources now reveal that Lacazette could be on his way to the Premier League with Lyon said to be have already lined up his replacement.

It is added that United are leading the pursuit after they made initial contact with the player's agent over a summer move.

League rivals Arsenal and Liverpool have been previously credited with interest for the Frenchman.
