Lyon Sign Bafetimbi Gomis
Lyon agree deal to sign Gomis from St Etienne
Lyon have reached agreement with St Etienne over the transfer of Bafetimbi Gomis to the Stade Gerland for a fee of €13m, subject to a medical.
The fee could rise to €15m depending on the performances of the 23-year-old France striker, who has scored twice in four appearances for Les Bleus and notched 10 Ligue 1 goals for Les Verts last term.
Good to see Lyon isn’t taking losing the Ligue One title to Bordeaux lying down. Gomis was on the brink of becoming the next great French striker and even made the Euro 2008 roster which most French fans would now like to forget. After a season where St Etienne were struggling to avoid regulation I’m sure Bafetimbi Gomis is happy for a fresh start playing with an elite club like Lyon.
