Lyon completes signing of winger Beauvue

Xinhua, July 3, 2015 Adjust font size:

Ligue 1 giants Lyon on Thursday confirmed the signing of Claudio Beauvue on a four year deal for an initial 4.5 million euros.

Claudio Beauvue scored 17 goals for Guingamp last season in Ligue 1, which equalled the club record set by Didier Drogba in 2003. Beauvue also won the 2014 French Cup with Guingamp.

The 27-year-old winger decided to join Lyon last week, but the deal is confirmed until July 2. Lyon will pay Guingamp an initial 4.5 million euros, but it could rise to 7.5 million euros depending on appearances of Beauvue.

As Ligue 1 runners-up of last year, Lyon will compete in the Champions League next season, which persuaded the Guadeloupe native to join Lyon. As Beauvue moved to Lyon, there are two summer signings of Lyon so far, and the other is defender Jeremy Morel from Marseille. Endi
