Liverpool boss Klopp jumps into battle for Lyon striker Lacazette

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is jumping into the battle for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

The France international has confirmed he is leaving OL this summer and is in talks with Atletico Madrid.

However, armed with the carrot of Champions League qualification and greater spending power, Klopp is rivaling Atletico for the striker.

The Mirror says Klopp wants to make a striker signing this summer and Lacazette is high on the agenda.

Gremio ace Luan is another under consideration, though Lacazette's availability makes the Frenchman the easier deal.
