Lacazette available for ~£30m apparently, but only before June 30th according to Lyon's chairman!
If we sold Benteke, we'd only need to spend ~10m extra to get Lacazette.
ST this season- Sturridge, Lacazette, Origi, Ings (+ Firmino). PERFECT!
I don't have much of a clue about lacazette. He's got decent pace, more so acceleration, good strength, I'm just not sure how he'd adapt to the premier league. Or maybe this just stems from my lack of confidence in the current french market. I have some confidence in thomas lemar though, if we could land him for 10 million or so seems like a no brainer to me, even if we keep him as squad/fringe player, obviously he'll want to play though and improve not just join a club to sit on the bench or pick up a wage.
speculation that west ham and spurs might go for lacazette, it's a little bit strange that no club in europe, or particularly arsenal haven't gone for him before? (or have they and not just bid the right amount that lyon were willing to accept at that point in time).
as has been said for the hundreth time, klopp prefers to not play with 2 strikers, so I can't see a lacazette sturridge combination. although firmino would slot in nicely behind them if liverpool chose to opt for a 442 with a diamond in midfield (in which case I'd keep allen and moreno), and were able to keep their shape inside their own half and sacrifice territory. I doubt klopp will use this style of football next season though no matter which striker he signs long term for the club.
