Agen SbobeT -    Newcastle chief scout Graham Carr checked on his long-term target Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette on Wednesday, writes Alan Oliver in the Sunday People.

The Toon's chief scout took in the French side’s 1-1 draw at Belgium's Gent in the Champions League.

But France star Lacazette has been firing blanks recently and after the Gent game had gone 706 minutes without a goal.

The 24-year-old was linked with Liverpool and Arsenal in the summer, and Sunday People Sport can reveal that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho also spoke to Lyon about him in the close-season. 

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT -  But like a lot of France-based players Lacazette, wants to stay home until after the Euros in his country next summer.

However, after another defeat on Saturday — at home to promoted Watford — that leaves them joint-bottom of the Premier League, Newcastle will be stepping up their search for more firepower.

Another problem they face in landing Lacazette is that he has just signed a new four-year contract and Lyon value their prize asset at £35million.

Carr also weighed up the form of Lyon’s 21-year-old central defender Samuel Umtiti on Wednesday. But like Lacazette, he wants to be in France until next summer.
