'L'Equipe' says that goalkeeper Andre Onana and Lyon have reached an agreement for the Cameroonian to arrive at the French club. He will put an end to his Ajax career, but he will not be able to play until November due to a doping ban.

Andre Onana is very close to signing for Lyon, a club he was linked with a while back. That is what 'L'Equipe' said, who explained that the player and the club have reached an agreement and there are just a few final touches to negotiate.

The goalkeeper will put an end to his time at Ajax, the club where he burst onto the scene, especially in the 2018-19 season. However, he will leave on a low note as he is currently suspended because of a doping ban.

He will not be able to play until November, which is when his ban ends. A situation which does not seem to have bothered Lyon coach Peter Bosz. He specifically asked for the Ajax goalie.

At the age of 25. the goalkeeper will leave the city of Amsterdam after 204 matches and seven seasons.
