President Jean-Michel Aulas reveals that he is hoping to keep supposed West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur target Alexandre Lacazette at Lyon.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has admitted that he is eager to retain Alexandre Lacazette's services beyond the end of the season.

The striker has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, with West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur said to be particularly interested.

However, when asked by RMC for an update on the 24-year-old's future, Aulas replied: "I would like to keep Alexandre Lacazette."

The frontman has found the net on 20 occasions for Lyon this season.
