Lyon are set to sign a Chelsea forward

Lyon are set to sign a Chelsea forward

After seeing Corentin Tolisso move to Germany as he joined Bayern Munich and after acquiring Fernando Marcal, Lyon are now ready to make another move. According to the Telegraaf, Chelsea owned forward Bertrand Traoré is set to arrive. In all, he would seemingly cost the French club 19 million euros. The striker played for Ajax this past season as he was on loan from Chelsea. He seemingly caught Lyon's eyes as they now want to close a deal as soon as possible for the young offensive talent (as he wouldn't potentially get any playing time at Chelsea). Traoré, who plays his international football with Burkina Faso, scored 6 goals in 40 games so far for his country. 

Traoré ended this past season with 40 appearances (overall) as he scored 13 goals and added 4 assists. The 21 year old now seems set to try out a new experience soon as Lyon are waiting for him....
