Man City step up bid for Lyon striker Lacazette

Manchester City are lining up a move for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

The Daily Star Sunday says the Etihad outfit hope to complete the signing of Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony, 26, this week and fellow hitman Lacazette, 23, is a summer target.

Rob Newman, City's European scout, headed up a three-man delegation from the club to assess Lacazette in action last weekend.

They saw him score his 19th goal in only 21 games this season as Lyon defeated Lens 3-2 in the French Cup.

City face competition, though.

Lacazette is also a target for PSG and Inter Milan.
