Lyon sign striker Bertrand Traore

Olympique Lyonnais have signed Chelsea’s Burkina Faso forward Bertrand Traore on a five-year contract for 10 million euros ($11.18 million), the French club said in a statement on Monday.

The 21-year-old was on loan last season at Ajax Amsterdam, who finished runners-up in the Dutch top flight, scoring nine goals in 24 league games. Ajax also reached the Europa League final where they lost to Manchester United having knocked Lyon out in the semifinals when Traore scored twice.
