Lyon are reportedly considering plotting a bid to sign Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi in an attempt to bolster their forwardline.

Ref apologises for stopping match after mistaking ISIS chant for homophobia

Nice president Fabrice Bocquet slammed the referee's "unacceptable" decision to halt the match against Lyon over a chant from the supporters, mistaking the anti-terrorist slogan for homophobic abuse. The decision to stop the chant, aimed at terror group ISIS and sung for years to honour the 86 victims of the July 14, 2016 Promenade des Anglais attack, provoked a furious reaction from the club, forcing the French refereeing director to publicly apologise.
