Negotiations are underway regarding Lassine Sinayoko, with Lyon keen to finalise a deal with Auxerre as they look to strengthen their squad for the run-in. The forward has emerged as a top transfer target in recent weeks, and the player's representatives are also believed to be involved in early discussions on personal terms. Whether a deal can be struck remains to be seen, but there is increasing optimism that the transfer could go through in the coming days. Lyon are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Lens and Nice are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. So far this season, Lyon are averaging 1.33 goals scored per game (8 goals /6 games), about average in the Ligue 1. Lassine Sinayoko would be expected to help them push higher and add more variety in attack. Auxerre have also been linked with Trevan Sanusi and Hamed Junior Traore while Lyon are reportedly monitoring Mehdi Taremi, Hamed Junior Traore and Timo Werner. Need more Lyon transfer rumours?
