Lyon coach Laurent Blanc said he was not a big fan of the winter market period.
Olympique Lyonnais lost several elements in January, with the departures of Karl-Toko Ekambi (in Rennes), Romain Faivre (in Lorient) and Tetê (in Leicester). The club managed to keep Rayan Cherki despite the interest of PSG, but today there are clearly shortcomings in the Rhone workforce. And it would be good to fill them before next Wednesday.
Three recruits expected in Lyon
Lyon must strengthen. However, his coach Laurent Blanc is eager for the transfer window to end. This is what he said on Sunday after the match won in Ajaccio (2-0). “The problem is that it lasts a month, but it’s often in the last three days that things happen. And in the rush, he lamented on Canal+. It’s the race to buy or sell or loan. It’s not my favorite period. It’s not the best preparation for the upcoming matches”.
While pushing his rant, the Cévénol nevertheless admitted that it was waiting for reinforcements in the next 48 hours. “Our idea is to improve the group and regenerate it. I hope we will get there”.
OL could get three recruits before the transfer window deadline. Brazilian winger Jeffinho is tipped to land from Botafogo, as is Swede Amin Sarr from Heerenveen. Finally, Wilson Isidor also has a good chance of landing in the Rhône after a stint at Lokomotiv Moscow.
