Jose Mourinho is eyeing up a summer transfer move for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Chelsea have relied massively on Diego Costa this season with the striker scoring 19 league goals. The burly striker has spent a large part of the season injured though and Mourinho wants another striker on the books. 

Lacazette has scored 27 goals in 31 league appearances which puts him third in the European goalscorers charts behind Ronaldo and Messi. Many believe that Costa and Lacazette would have to compete against each other if the latter was to sign as Mourinho prefers a lone frontman.

A £25 million bid is being put forward with Loic Remy possibly moving the other way.
