Lyon manager Hubert Fournier has continued to insist that the clubs star man, Alexandre Lacazette, will not leave the club under any circumstances this summer.

Serveral clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked with the Frenchman, who has been one of the most prolific strikers in Europe after last seasons impressive record of 27 goals in 33 starts in Ligue 1.

Lyon, who will return to the Champions League next season, are desperate to keep hold of their stars. The French side’s fears over losing Lacazette have been fueled consistently having been linked with moves to England, but now it seems any move will be rejected.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas claimed last week that although he still felt that Lacazette wanted to stay, it would be very difficult to reject a bid of £35m plus, a fee that the Premier League clubs would deem too much for the 24-year-old, who only signed a two-year extension to his current deal last September.

“I haven’t got much to say. He has said he wants to stay with us.” said Aulas.

“Of course some clubs are going to be attracted to the sort of player he is but he is under contract at Lyon and with all of the different competitions we have this season with the Champions League and the domestic French cups, we obviously want to keep him at the club.”

The French international dropped a huge hint he could change teams this summer after adding a tweet regarding negotiations between Wenger and Lyon to his favorites tab. He subsequently removed the favourite, after fans started reacting to his post.
