Ligue 1 Superstar Striker Opens up About Summer Move to Chelsea

Premier League clubs Chelsea and Arsenal have been linked with Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette for quite some time now and the striker, in a recent interview, has talked up a possibility of moving to Premier League.

The 24-year-old, who scored 27 goals in 33 appearances last season has already rejected Newcastle’s approach this season.

He revealed that he is open to a move to Premier League at the end of the season, and his claims have boosted Chelsea’s hopes of signing him in the summer.

“Yes, I am thinking about it and the Premier League is very attractive for a player,” Lacazette told The Telegraph when asked about a possible move to Premier League.

“But I know that to go there I have to do well this season. So I am very concentrated on doing well and maybe, after that, I will go there.

“I know that it is possible that I will move to the Premier League and Lyon are aware of that also. There is no formal agreement that I will go, but the president [Aulas] knows that it’s a possibility that I will leave Lyon at the end of the season.”
