Transfer report: Tottenham and West Ham issued with warning over Lyon star Alexandre Lacazette

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has told Tottenham and West Ham they must tie up a deal for Alexandre Lacazette by the end of June.

The striker is wanted by several Premier League clubs this summer after scoring 23 goals last season, to go with the 31 he bagged in 2014/15.

Tottenham and West Ham are leading the race, but both clubs have so far failed to strike a deal with Lyon.

And now Aulas has warned them to get a move on - or else they will have no chance of signing the Frenchman.

"If on 28th August, we are offered €80m for Alexandre Lacazette, he will not leave," Aulas told L'Equipe.

"However, if he comes to me in the days to come, because he has an offer he cannot refuse, it's possible. 

"Finally, if there must be departures, they will be before June 30th. There will be none after, except for minor players."
