France striker Alexandre Lacazette has agreed a new two-year contract with Lyon, the club`s president Jean-Michel Aulas announced on Tuesday.
The striker has already scored three league goals this season and could add to his two caps for France after being called up for Thursday`s friendly with Spain and Sunday`s game against Serbia.
Meanwhile, talented but injury-prone playmaker Yoann Gourcuff has agreed to a pay cut although not to an extension to his existing deal, which expires next summer.
The 28-year-old, a big-money signing from Bordeaux in 2010, has been plagued by injuries in his time at the Stade de Gerland.
"It was a question of making mutual concessions that show that everyone wants the best for Olympique Lyonnais," said Aulas.
Lyon have had a difficult start to the new season, losing three of their four Ligue 1 games and being eliminated from the Europa League at the play-off stage.
