Lyon's star striker, Alexandre Lacazette has confirmed his stay at the club for the upcoming season.

The Frenchman had been linked with moves away from the Parc OL in recent weeks, but he has now put any speculation to rest by committing himself to the club until the end of the current campaign.

"I am very happy to be staying at Lyon," Lacazette said. "I have loved my time here so far and I want to continue playing football for this great club."

The forward also spoke about his plans for the upcoming season, promising to lead the team in Ligue 1.

"Lyon is one of the best teams in France and I'm excited to be part of that," he added. "I want to help the team achieve success and win more titles."

Lacazette's commitment to the club comes as a relief for fans who were worried about the possibility of him leaving after a difficult start to the season.

Despite struggling for form in the opening months of the campaign, the 29-year-old has shown his quality since returning from injury and will be crucial to Lyon's chances of success this term.

With the likes of Memphis Depay and Anthony Martial on the books, Lacazette will need to step up if the club is to challenge for honours.

But for now, it looks like the forward will be staying put at Lyon for the foreseeable future, and fans can look forward to seeing him leading the team in Ligue 1 next season.
