Lyon have announced the signing of Chelsea attacker Bertrand Traore for €10million on a five-year contract.
The Burkina Faso international spent last season on loan at Ajax, scoring nine Eredisivie goals and adding a further four to help the team reach the Europa League final, where they lost 2-0 to Manchester United.
But the 21-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements by Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and has been allowed to move on to Lyon, signing a deal until 2022.

Lyon are looking to strengthen a squad that finished fourth in Ligue 1 last season, missing out on qualification for the Champions League.
Coach Bruno Genesio faces a fight to hold on to star striker Alexandre Lacazette, who is a reported transfer target for Arsenal after the France international's proposed move to Atletico Madrid fell through due to the club's transfer ban.
