Everton rival Newcastle for Lyon striker Lacazette

Everton have joined the battle for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Indeed, the Daily Express says Everton are leading Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle in the race for Lacazette.

The 23-year-old is still discussing a contract extension with Lyon, but his demands - thought to be around £40,000-a-week - are proving a problem.

And the player's agent, David Venditelli, has today confirmed that there are a number of Premier League clubs monitoring the situation.

He told Le Parisien: "Some English clubs are rushing to the scene.

"If Alexandre leaves, it will be for a team that plays in the Champions League, or at least a team who is very close to being there."
