Lyon have identified an alternative to Celtic striker Moussa Dembele, as they plan for the possibility they will not be able to sign the Frenchman from the Bhoys.

Les Gones want to land Dembele before the transfer window closes on Friday evening and have been in touch with Celtic.




But the Bhoys are not keen to sell and have been putting up stiff resistance, despite Dembele wanting to make the move.

Lyon are determined not be caught without a striker having been added to the books.
 


The Ligue 1 giants are, according to France Football, working on a potential deal with Brazilian side Fluminense for Pedro.

Lyon are prepared to activate a deal for Pedro if they cannot push an agreement for Dembele over the line.

It is claimed that Pedro, 21, would cost Lyon a fee of around €20m to sign from Fluminense.

Pedro came through the youth system at Fluminense and the Brazilian side have already rejected bids from Bordeaux and Monterrey for his services.
