Newcastle United have had an offer for Alexandre Lacazette turned down over the weekend.

And the Magpies have been told again by Lyon that the striker is “not for sale” according to the French club.

The Ligue 1 side are eager to give Lacazette a new contract and keep him on their books.

But the news is a big blow for the Magpies after Mike Ashley had sanctioned a bid for the France international.

United’s last transfer meeting had seen the names of both Lacazette and Loic Remy put on the table – but the 23-year-old became the second star to snub United in recent days.

Remy has signed for Chelsea and has been pictured with a Blues shirt after rejecting one of Newcastle’s numerous approaches for him this summer.

It leaves Newcastle with limited options on their striker shortlist going into the final day of the window.
