Lacazette hits hat trick, hints at Lyon stay

Anthony Lacazette got Lyon's Ligue 1 season up and running with a hat trick in the 3-0 win at Nancy before hinting he will stay at the club.

Lyon striker Anthony Lacazette enhanced his reputation as one of the most sought-after talents in European football with a hat trick in his team's opening 3-0 Ligue 1 win at Nancy – before stating he has unfinished business in French football.

Lacazette, who scored 23 times in all competitions last season, has been consistently linked with a move to Arsenal, while West Ham boss Slaven Bilic ruled his club out of the running this week.
