Lyon ‘close to signing’ Chelsea starlet, Aulas confirms
Traore spent the last season on loan at Ajax scoring 13 goals and registering 6 assists in 39 appearances in all competitions with the Lancers who managed to win the Dutch league as well as reaching the Europa League final which they lost at hands of Manchester United.
Traore, 21, is reported to be on the verge of completing his move to France for a fee between € 17 and € 20 million.
The President of Lyon confirmed to French media that an agreement should be just around the corner. “We're fine-tuning the talks. It's a very ambitious operation, one that fits with what we had said. I hope to be able to conclude the deal in the next 10 days, if possible before the end of the week”, Aulas said.
