Present on the bench of Olympique Lyonnais since the beginning of October, coach Laurent Blanc has noted certain shortcomings in his current squad. As the next winter transfer window approaches, the French technician would like two recruits with well-defined positions.
Laurent Blanc hopes for the Lyon movement.
Since the appointment of coach Laurent Blanc in early October, Olympique Lyonnais has posted a mixed record: two wins for two defeats in Ligue 1. Over this period, the French technician has tried to breathe new life into the current 8th in the ranking.
With in particular the use of a new 3-5-2 system. With the tests carried out, the former Paris Saint-Germain coach has identified certain shortcomings in his current squad.
A defender and a midfielder this winter?
Indeed, according to information from the regional daily Le Progrs, the former coach of the France team could ask his leaders to activate during the next winter transfer window in January. With the shortcomings displayed by his group in recent weeks, Blanc would potentially like two arrivals: a central defender and a midfielder.
Defensively, OL seem effectively limited, especially if White decides to persevere with a three in the middle. Because with the exception of Castello Lukeba, the other central defenders have difficulty stringing together good performances with regularity: Jrme Boateng, Sinaly Diomand or Damien Da Silva. In midfield, White is probably looking for a more physical and defensive profile in order to balance his team.
Possible departures…
To finance this transfer window, the Lyon management could also carry out a cleaning within the group. If the newspaper does not advance any name, it will obviously be necessary to monitor the situations of the players little used by Blanc during his first 4 games with Lyon. In any case, to revive, the Rhone club will have to make strong decisions.
