Thiago Mendes to undergo Lyon medical today

L’Équipe report that Brazilian midfielder Thiago Mendes arrived in Lyon last night and will undergo a medical with Les Gones today ahead of a €25m move from Ligue 1 rivals Lille.

Lille left-back Youssouf Koné is also expected to be included in a deal that in its totality will cost OL €37m, but owing to his commitments at AFCON, the Malian’s paperwork will likely be completed much later than the deal for Mendes.

Mendes, in the company of Paulo Pitombeira, will now complete medical checks and finalise personal terms.
