West Ham target Lacazette: I love England

Olympique Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette admits he'd like to test himself in the Premier League.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas confirmed rejecting an offer from West Ham last week for Lacazette.

"I will not leave just for the money, I prefer football first. I want to play in the Champions League in a club with a project, where I'd be seen as I am at OL at present," he said.

"The reasons for a possible move? The football. The president's decision too, especially. Because if he needs money, we will not hide the fact that I am one of players who can bring more to the club.

"At some point, I'll also want to sample something else because I love England. And Spain also."
