Tottenham Hotspur are known to be on the look out for a new striker in the summer transfer window.
Lyon striker Alexander Lacazette is sure to come into sharp focus, as the summer transfer window edges ever closer to opening.
Lacazette has been linked with a move to England for some time, and a number of Premier League clubs are thought to be chasing the Frenchman.
The likes of West Ham United and Arsenal have both been linked with Lacazette previously.
But, when the 25-year-old described which club he would like to move to, it seems that Tottenham Hotspur would be a much better fit.
“This summer I might go for a breath of fresh air and try something different, always with the idea of progressing in football and as a person,” he said to the Telegraph.
“I’m going to keep working, with the hope that good opportunities come for me this summer.
“[The team I join] will have to be in the Champions League and play good football – passing the ball, not just hitting it from box to box. Not kick and rush. That would not work for me.”
Lacazette is yet to emerge as a Tottenham target, but his comments suggest that a move to the North London side could be perfect.
Spurs tick every box that he is looking for, and Lacazette would surely be a brilliant addition for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Tottenham are known to be on the look out for a new striker, as they seek competition for Harry Kane.
And Lacazette would have all the tools required to be a major success with the Lilywhites.
A clinical finisher, who is blessed with both pace and power, Lacazette has netted 24 goals in 27 Ligue 1 matches this season.
And it seems that a move to Spurs could suit all parties, as Pochettino’s men step up their transfer plans.
