“I am in discussions with a lot of clubs,” Lacazette told Canal Plus.

“I am open… I have never cut contact with Lyon since I left. I try to return to the club once or twice a year to see the medical staff because we are close. Lyon knows that I am free, they have come to the information.”

The French international has not ruled out the possibility of joining his former club, Lyon. the Ligue one club was kicked out of the Europa League by West Ham on Thursday.

‘I try to return to the club once or twice a year to see the medical staff because we are close. Lyon knows that I am free, they have to come up with a proposal.

‘I want to play in Europe, it’s been a long time since I played in the Champions League, I’m missing it.

‘It’s a little more complicated, nothing is impossible in life, but it’s a little more complicated
