David Sullivan is ready to step up his bid for Alexandre Lacazette.

The Hammers chairman saw a new £32 million bid rejected by Lyon yesterday but is encouraged by the falling of away of interest by both Paris St Germain and Spurs.

Lyon are claiming that they want £40 milion for the 25 year old but with the Irons seemingly the only club in the frame at the moment that has zero chance of happening at this stage.

We were told this morning that a fresh bid is likely and that the striker remains the prime target as the Hammers look to get their transfer business done as quickly as possible.

Sullivan is a relentless negotiator and will go on until the bitter end in his pursuit of the player with a source saying this morning: “It’s not over at this stage – there is likely to be another offer. As we have seen many times, David is not a man to throw his hands in the air and say: ‘That’s it.’

Lacazette showed his prowess for Lyon last season, scoring 21 goals in 34 Ligue 1 games, although he was only placed on stand-by for France’s Euro 2016 squad.
