Breaking: Lyon signs Chelsea Bertrand Traore

Olympique Lyonnais have confirmed the signing of Chelsea forward Bertrand Traore on £8.8m.

The Burkina-Faso international was on loan to Ajax Amsterdam during the 2016/2017 season where he scored 9 goals in the Eredivisie and 4 goals in the Europa League to help his side to the Europa League final where they lost 2-0 to Manchester United.

On Chelsea return, Antonio Conte has permitted the Burkina Faso International to sign a five year deal worth £8.8m with Lyon.

Previously, Bertrand Traore has spent two years on loan with Vitesse. The pacing attacker only had four starts for Chelsea and will hope to dominate the attacking force of Lyon.
