Liverpool are the favourites to sign Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette, according to the latest betting odds.
Leading bookmaker Sky Bet have priced the 26-year-old at 5/2 to make a switch to Anfield before September 3, with Arsenal (3/1) also in the running for his signature.
Jurgen Klopp’s side concluded their Premier League season by finishing in the Champions League places, which now gives them the pulling power to recruit Europe’s best players.
France international Lacazette, who has come through the ranks at Lyon, is regarded as one of the top talents in his home country.
The prolific forward helped his team secure a top four finish this season by scoring 28 goals and supplying three assists from his 30 league matches.
Added with that, in all competitions, he found the back of the net on 37 occasions from his 45 games, including six strikes from his eight Europa League encounters.
There is no doubt that Klopp will be looking to add depth to his squad, particularly, in the final third where he has lacked numbers.
Versatile attacker Roberto Firmino has played in a false nine role throughout the campaign, with Divock Origi failing to keep fit or prove his worth on a consistent basis when given the chance to play.
On top of that, England international Daniel Sturridge has endured another injury-hit season which could now force Klopp to add more firepower to his team ahead of a gruelling campaign.
