Lyon manager Bruno Genesio has confirmed the club in talks to sign free agent Emmanuel Adebayor.
The former Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid striker has been a free agent since he was released by Crystal Palace at the end of last season and had been linked with a move to Fulham earlier in the summer.
However, Genesio has confirmed the 32-year-old is at Lyon as a deal nears completion.
“He has arrived in Lyon and I’ll meet him after this press conference,” Sky Sports quotes him as saying.
“I have many things to ask him, including his last experience with Crystal Palace. I want ti know about his form and his motivations for wanting to join us. I also need to know more about his physical level.
“It will not be an interview but a conversation to get a real idea of the player and the man. It’s very important to me.”
With Alexandre Lacazette sidelined for a few weeks, Lyon are shot in attack and the temporary signing of Adebayor appears a solution. In the last three seasons Adebayor has only started 16 matches, scoring three goals.
