# West Ham launch €52m bid for Lacazette

West Ham have launched a staggering €52million (approximately £40million) bid for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette, according to French source L’Equipe, via [GFFN](https://twitter.com/GFFN/status/746108756623265792).

The Hammers have seen two bids turned down for the striker already this summer, the latest being worth £32million with the Ligue 1 side valuing their star striker at nearer £40million.

It was thought that West Ham would end their pursuit after the negative response received to their second bid, but [L’Equipe](https://twitter.com/GFFN/status/746108756623265792) have revealed the Hammers have gone all out with one last attempt.

[GFFN](https://twitter.com/GFFN/status/746112279658135553) say the deal is “far from done” even if Lyon accept the latest bid. West Ham still have a task on their hands to convince Lacazette to move to East London – even with the new stadium, Europa League, huge pay packet and the added incentive of living in London.

The French international remains West Ham’s number one target this summer, but it remains to be seen whether a deal for the 24-year-old will ever be reached. He is also wanted by reigning Ligue 1 champions PSG.
