Lyon have vowed to go all out in their bid to re-sign Alexandre Lacazette from Arsenal.
Club president Jean-Michel Aulas has publicly declared his desire to bring the striker back to France this summer.
And a free transfer agreement could be close, with Lyon’s sporting director Vincent Ponsot revealing he is in constant contact with Lacazette’s representatives.
The forward, 30, left Ligue 1 for Arsenal nearly five years ago in a £45million deal.
