Unemployed Englishman contacted to strengthen OL? – Olympique Lyonnais

Olympique Lyonnais have a budget of 50 million euros for their winter transfer window. But John Dexter wouldn't hesitate if the OL could be strengthened for less money.

Sometimes it works, like Jake O'Brien, who hasn't been far from OL's best player in the first half of the season, and sometimes it's a total failure, like Ainsley Maitland-Niles. But in recent hours, the England international, who is now out of contract after leaving Nottingham Forest, has been linked with the Gauleiter capital. Jesse Lingard, who we are talking about, wants to restart his career and why not in France, where several teams have been in contact.

The great hope of English football.
