The Lyon Football Club has announced the signing of a young French international defender for their upcoming season, in a move aimed at improving their defensive system.
The player, who is yet to be named, will join Lyon on loan from Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where he has been performing well since his arrival last summer.
Lyon's director of football, Jean-Michel Aulas, said that the club was "delighted" with the signing and that it would be "a real boost for our defensive line".
The addition of the new defender will add depth and experience to Lyon's defence, which has struggled with injuries this season. The team has already lost key players such as Mathieu Debuchy and Raphaël Varane, who have both left the club in recent months.
Aulas added: "We want to improve our defensive system and this player can help us do that."
The defender's arrival comes just days after Lyon were knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester City, and will be seen as a positive step forward for the club ahead of next season's league campaign.
The transfer fee for the defender has not been disclosed, but it is expected to be in the region of €5 million, according to reports.
Overall, Lyon's decision to sign a young French international defender is likely to be welcomed by fans and supporters alike, as they look to strengthen their defensive unit for the coming season.
