Very good news for Olympique Lyonnais, who will complete the arrival of their long-awaited striker this winter.
In search of offensive reinforcements before the end of the winter transfer window, Olympique Lyonnais is on the verge of finalizing the arrival of an attacker. This before the end of the market this evening of Thursday February 1, 2024. The player is already on his way to Lyon.
OL’s main target in attack
After a very complicated first part in the French championship, Olympique Lyonnais wants to return to its best level in Ligue 1. While its attack has been much less prolific (19 goals after 19 days in Ligue 1), the Rhone club wants to strengthen its offensive sector, in particular the attack. Indeed, the seven-time French champions saw fit to recruit Algerian left winger from West Ham United, Saïd Benrahma.
“We have submitted significant offers for both players (Benrahma and Danjuma, editor’s note) and we think both would be delighted to come to Lyon. But their clubs have their own priorities, and Danjuma’s case is even more complicated because Everton, who hold his rights via a loan (from Villarreal, editor’s note), have no great reasons to release him. We hope that all parties can eventually come to an agreement. New arrivals? A defender… and maybe another midfielder”confirmed OL president John Textor in an interview with The team, Start of the week. And of course, the player will sign for Lyon.
