Lacazette responds to reported Barcelona interest

Alexandre Lacazette is one of the names that has appeared on Barcelona's agenda as a future target to add more depth in attack. A few days ago, the Catalan club's interest in the player was revealed by some media. Now it's the player himself talking of Barça's interest. 

In an interview with L'Equipe, along with Wendie Renard, who plays for Lyon's women's side, Lacazette recognised that he likes the Spanish league, although he avoided saying whether his future could be in La Liga. 

"I like the football they play in Spain a lot. I follow Barça, [Real] Madrid and even Atletico, who are doing great things," he said, without positioning himself with one team or the other. However, he lamented that La Liga is not like English football, "where there are many teams fighting to be in top part of the table." 

Lacazette has been playing for Lyon since hw was 13. The 24-year-old has scored 20 goals this season and been linked with moves across Europe.
