Denayer swaps Man City for Lyon

Lyon have signed Belgium defender Jason Denayer on a permanent deal from Manchester City, the clubs have announced.

The 23-year-old has agreed a four-year deal with the Ligue 1 outfit.

Denayer came through the academy ranks at City but did not make a first-team breakthrough.

He moves after two loan spells at Galatasaray and further stints at Celtic and Sunderland in recent years.

Despite playing eight times for the Red Devils, Denayer did not make the final cut for the 2018 World Cup.
