Lyon will have a fantastic, vibrant squad even if Lacazette departs

If there’s one thing Euro 2016 achieved, it was raising the awareness of French football. Under the guidance of Didier Deschamps and boasting of players such as Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba, French football was finally brought into the spotlight.

New stadiums were constructed, one of which was the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, and despite missing out on Champions League football, Lyon look to be one of Europe’s most exciting ‘hipster’ teams heading into next season.

The biggest question in the Lyon camp is whether Alexandre Lacazette will remain at the club, with both Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund interested. They have, however, been linked with a move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez should the Frenchman depart.

With Memphis Depay at the club and the potential arrival of Bertrand Traore from Chelsea, Lyon will potentially possess one of the best attacks in French football next season, and fans will be hoping to see them in the Champions League sooner rather than later.
