Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain heading queue for Lacazette

Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are among the leading candidates to sign Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette this summer. The 25-year-old netted an impressive tally of 23 goals in all competitions last season.

French daily L'Equipe suggests that Lacazette is holding out for a bigger challenge despite strong interest from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United in recent weeks.

It is added that the Gunners and Les Parisiens are also in the running, and they could be the clubs to battle it out for the player's signature.

Lyon currently value their asset in excess of £40m, and this could prove to be the only stumbling block in the pursuit.

Lacazette has been with Les Phoceens since the age of 12.
