Lyon president Aulas desperate to 'keep' West Ham target Lacazette

Olympique Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has no problem with rivals trying to land Alexandre Lacazette.

Aulas revealed last week he'd rejected a €31 million offer from West Ham for the striker.

"We must take things in a calm way. It is also a privilege to have coveted players. Alexandre Lacazette is one, we will do everything to keep him. The coach wants to keep him, absolutely.

"If he wants to keep Alex. I'm not saying this to please him. We rejected a bid of 36 million + 4 million last week. We've answered in advance to those who say we should sell. Refusing the offer of a big European club shows we want to keep him. We will do everything to do so."
