Everton to battle Liverpool for Lacazette

Everton are interested in Lyon and France striker Alexandre Lacazette but face competition from Liverpool for his signature, according to the Mirror.

With the future of Romelu Lukaku up in the air, Everton are looking to bolster their attacking options and have reportedly kept tabs on Lacazette this season.

Liverpool have a dilemma with their own Belgian striker as Christian Benteke’s future at Anfield is in serious doubt.

The former Aston Villa forward seems set to leave L4 at the end of the season after falling down the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp.

Lacazette has had his fair share of trials and tribulations do deal with this season but he’s still managed to score 14 goals in 27 games in Ligue 1 this season.

The 24-year-old signed a five-year-contract last summer and has previously been linked with Arsenal and Newcastle United.

The report says £22million could be enough for Lyon to part with their prized asset, but the French outfit could up that price if Lacazette performs well at Euro 2016.
