Lille and Lyon interested in Toulouse’s Yann Gboho | OneFootball

Toulouse FC have seen their forward line decimated this summer. Joshua King departed following the expiry of his one-year deal; Zakaria Aboukhlal, the club’s top scorer last season, joined Torino on a permanent deal; and Shavy Babicka also left on a permanent deal.

There could yet be a further departure. Yann Gboho (24) has impressed since joining Toulouse from Cercle Brugge. In 52 games, he has nine goals and eight assists. However, his impact and ability to eliminate opponents is what makes the winger so important to Le TéFéCé.

However, he could join King, Aboukhlal, and Babicka in departing. As per a report from RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, two Ligue 1 clubs, Lille OSC and Olympique Lyonnais, are interested in the winger. Turkish side Beşiktaş are also in the race to sign Gboho, who is valued at €12m by his club. Hawkins adds that it is Beşiktaş who are currently best placed in the race.
