Guiza poised for Lyon switch

Lyon could finally have been successful in their search for a striker after Fenerbahce accepted an offer for Daniel Guiza.

Les Gones have seen strike duo Fred and Karim Benzema depart over the past few months and, while they have been linked with several frontmen, only Lisandro Lopez has been brought in as a replacement.

However, Fenerbahce coach Christoph Daum claims the Turkish club have accepted a bid believed to be in the region of €12m for Guiza.

“The offer isn’t very high in relation to the price we paid to have him,” Daum told Milliyet. “But he absolutely wants to leave the club.

“So we will accept it and look for another attacker.”

Fenerbahce shelled out €14m on the 28-year-old Spain international last season but he has failed to settle in Turkey.

Reports in France, meanwhile, suggest Lyon have finally convinced Nice to part ways with Loic Remy.

Nice have always insisted Remy is not for sale but they could be swayed by a bid said to be in the region of €16m plus Anthony Mounier for the France forward, who they spent €8m on last summer.
