Liverpool target Alexandre Lacazette has snubbed a move to Anfield after committing his immediate future to current club Lyon.

The striker is the latest to be linked with a move to the Reds in recent days, with Newcastle also said to be keen on the 23-year-old.

But with speculation mounting over a prospective switch to the Premier League, Lacazette has moved quickly to kill the rumours.

‘I’ve made my decision to stay for one year or more,’ he told Canal+.


Lacazette scored in Lyon’s 2-0 victory over Rennes on Saturday, in their opening Ligue 1 game of the new campaign, building on his tally of 18 goals in 45 appearances last term.



The Frenchman’s refusal to leave Lyon, however, leaves Liverpool to continue their pursuit of a frontman to replace Luis Suarez, with the new Premier League campaign just five days away.
