According to L’Equipe, French side Olympique Lyon are keen on signing Chelsea’s Burkina Faso forward Bertrand Traore on loan.

The 21-year-old spent the 2016/17 season on loan at Dutch giants Ajax and helped them reach the UEFA Europa League final, including two goals against Lyon in the semifinal.

Traore has made just 16 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Auxerre in 2013 and is expected to have a third loan spell away from Stamford Bridge. The Stallions player has also spent time on loan at Vitesse Arnhem.

However, a move to another Premier League team is also a possibility, with West Ham United and Everton reportedly interested in signing the player.
