Alexandre Lacazette is a natural poacher when it comes to finishing and that is exactly why West Ham want to bring him to the Olympic Stadium this summer.
There have been numerous reports in recent days highlighting West Ham’s interest in the French international, with the reliable ExWHUemployee declaring that the player himself is keen on a move to East London.
Slaven Bilic’s men have not exactly struggled for goals this season but there still seems to be something missing up front. Both Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho are excellent strikers when they are in form but the issue of injuries is something that is forcing West Ham to invest in another front man.
In the 73 league games that Lyon have played from 2014-2016, the 24-year-old has featured in 64 of them. Clearly, his injury record is exceedingly good and this is exactly what West Ham are looking for.
So, to give you an idea of the kind of player the Hammers are chasing, we’ve compiled Lacazette’s top five goals this season.
