Kenny Tete is ready to put a frustrating season at Ajax behind him after joining Lyon on a five-year deal.
Netherlands international Tete featured in both legs as Ajax overcame Lyon in the semi-finals of the Europa League last term, although he was restricted to five starts in the Eredivisie as Joel Veltman made the right-back position his own.
"My last season at Ajax was not very positive, it was hard for me," Tete, who joined for a reported €3million fee, told a news conference.
"But I've always been positive. Those were the decisions of the coach."
"Bertrand Traore being in the side will allow me to be effective faster," Tete added.
"At the beginning of the transfer window we had not targeted a right-back but it was a real opportunity," he said.
"We jumped at this opportunity and we are very pleased to welcome Kenny, a young international player.
"We are convinced of the success of Kenny Tete at OL."
Genesio went on to discuss further defensive reinforcements, refusing to rule out a move for Besiktas' Marcelo.
"We do not know if Marcelo will be our choice, but it is a name that matches the features we are looking for."
