Lyon president Aulas denies pushing to sell Liverpool, Arsenal target Lacazette

Olympique Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas insists they're not actively seeking to sell Alexandre Lacazette.

French sources say Aulas is willing to sell the striker this summer for €70 million, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham keen.

However, speaking about Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso, Aulas said: "We've seen a lot of clubs in the stands watching a lot of our players, which is not good news from a sporting point of view, because it means we're going to be approached.

"But when I mentioned the fact that Olympique Lyonnais had the largest stock of players, it is not to let Corentin or Alexandre Lacazette leave. Those who wrote this were mistaken.

"If we can keep them, obviously we will keep them and then other players will be approached."
