Tottenham heading Lacazette chase?

Tottenham Hotspur are apparently leading the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool in the race to sign Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

The 24-year-old had been strongly linked with a switch to the Premier League last summer before he penned a long-term deal with the French giants.

Recent speculation had suggested that United were making the moves for the France international after they made initial contact with the player's representatives.

However, according to The Mirror, it is Spurs who had approached for the striker, and are now in pole position to secure his services in the summer.

Lacazette has had a fine season in Ligue 1, netting 17 goals in 30 outings for his club.
