- February 06, 2017
The France worldwide was strongly linked with a move to the Premier League last summer, with Liverpool, Arsenal and West Ham United all credited with an interest in the centre-forward. "If that happens, great, but I am not here to say that I will take a place from Luis Suarez". Yet, one way or another, any suitor will have to break the bank to secure his services as outspoken Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas revealed in January that he had received a new offer worth €70m for the striker.

Super Bowl 51 ripe with political messaging, from Lady Gaga to Lumber
- February 06, 2017
