Lyon have signed key defender Nicolas Pepe from relegated Premier League team Burnley, according to reports in France.
The 22-year-old Frenchman is expected to make the move to the Ligue 1 club on a season-long loan deal with an option for a permanent transfer at the end of the campaign.
Pepe has been one of the standout performers for Burnley this season, making 24 appearances and scoring three goals in all competitions.
He was also named in the PFA Team of the Year last month after helping his side to safety in the relegation battle.
The move is seen as a coup for Lyon, who are looking to strengthen their defence ahead of next season's Champions League campaign.
Pepe will be hoping to build upon his impressive performances for Burnley and help Lyon secure a top-four finish in the league.
It remains to be seen whether he will play any part in Lyon's Europa League campaign, but it seems likely that he will be given a chance to impress in France.
Overall, this is a significant signing for Lyon and could see them challenge for the title next season.
