But Lyon denied any deal had been finalised last night, and hope to keep their star man.

And the Blues have now joined the battle to sign the French attacker, along with other clubs across Europe.

He is still expected to leave Lyon during the coming transfer window after a stunning season in Ligue 1.

Arsenal are also thought to be showing an interest, but the lack of Champions League football would put him off.
