Newcastle United have submitted a fresh bid for Alexandre Lacazette - according to sources in France.

But the Magpies have not had any success in offloading Gabriel Obertan or Jonas Gutierrez so far.

However, it is incoming players that United fans have the most interest in this summer.

Lyon recently slapped a fee of €20million on Lacazette but United’s progress on the deal have only reached the “enquiry” stage according sources at the Ligue 1 club.

And United have asked them if they would be prepared to deal for what they see as a competitive offer.

Lacazette was linked with Liverpool this summer but it is believed that they are yet to show their hand.

Newcastle must now wait to see if Lyon play ball at the prices that Newcastle have discussed.

United now find themselves around the table again with Jean-Michel Aulas.

Talks have not always gone smoothly with Aulas and he is known to play hardball on transfers.

Indeed, that was the case when United tried to sign Clement Grenier earlier this year.

But were United to pull off the deal it would cap a reasonable summer in the window so far.

Meanwhile, Obertan was left out of the squad for New Zealand but had been training with the first team while Jonas has been training with an unnamed club and told he has no future at Newcastle.
