# Alexandre Lacazette looking to move on from Lyon

West Ham spent much of the 2016 summer chasing pipe dream striker targets.

The club spent weeks negotiating a fee with Marseille for Michy Batshuayi before being gazumped by Chelsea just hours after a deal was agreed with the Ligue 1 side, saw several €40m+ offers turned down for Alexandre Lacazette and were given a resounding ‘no’ by Carlos Bacca after Milan accepted a bid.

However, could they be tempted into a move for one of these players again in the summer?

Speaking to French source Canal+ (h/t GFFN), Alexandre Lacazette believes he might be ready for a change of scenery and could leave Lyon in the summer.

“I think that this summer I will likely need a change of scenery,” he’s quoted as saying.

The 25-year-old striker has 18 goals in 17 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season, cementing himself as one of, if not the best striker in the division but it seems he may want to finally test himself abroad.

Lacazette has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, with West Ham among potential suitors. Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool have all been linked in the past.

After David Gold stated to the BT broadcasting crew ahead of the 4-0 defeat to Manchester City that West Ham were going to try again in the summer to land a big name striker, could the Hammers be tempted into another move for Lacazette? Let’s wait and see.
