Gomis heading for Lyon move

St Etienne forward Bafetimbi Gomis could well be heading to Lyon, according to reports this morning emanating from France. It is understood that Lyon will pay £15 million to land the French international.

Lyon are desperate to replace Karim Benzema, who joined Real Madrid earlier in the summer, with the talented Gomis.

However, at this stage an offer has only just been accepted by St. Etienne, and personal terms discussions are to start this morning.

Gomis could complete a move early next week.
