Makoun ready for Lyon move

16 June 2008 - 13:01

French starlet Jean II Makoun is ready to make his 'dream move' to French giants Lyon this summer from Lille. Makoun is expected to quit the club in a £12 million transfer.

  • Chelsea winger suffers head injury vs Nottingham Forest
  • Man Utd star preparing farewell video ahead of transfer
  • Makoun told Sky Sports: "Nothing is done yet, however the club have agreed the transfer fee, the medical will be done and after that we will see, fingers crossed there should not be a big problem.



    "It is a big challenge, I am joining the best team in France, it is a dream come true. I wanted to get back into the Champions League and there I am.



    "I am looking forward to next season. It is sad to leave Lille but I have to move and win trophies and play in the big stage - there is no bigger stage in France than Lyon."
