Lacazette does not want West Ham move

The seemingly unlikely transfer of Alexandre Lacazette to West Ham is off, if reports from HITC are to be believed.

West Ham and Lyon have been locked in talks over the last few weeks regarding a potential move for Lacazette. The Hammers had two unsuccessful bids (€32million and €40million) knocked back and were preparing a third – in the region of €48million.

But the latest coming from Lacazette’s camp is that the player has no interest in a move to East London.

A source close to the player told HITC : “Lacazette’s agent confirmed last week to West Ham that he did not want to move to the Olympic Stadium, and Spurs were told the same.”

Lacazette – who netted 21 times in 34 league appearances last season – will look to seal a move to Paris Saint-Germain instead, although the Ligue 1 champions have shown no signs of wanting to follow up their initial interest just yet.

Should PSG choose not to make a move for the 25-year-old, West Ham may be tempted to reignite their interest at a later date but, as it stands, the deal is off.
