Lyon have confirmed the signing of striker Moussa Dembele from Celtic.

The French side will pay the Scottish champions a fee rising to €22m for the goal-getter and he reinforces the club's attacking options.




Dembele has put pen to paper to a five-year contract with Lyon and will be presented by the club on Saturday.

Celtic were opposed to letting Dembele leave so late in the summer transfer window and without a replacement lined up.
 


But they have agreed to allow him to make the move to Lyon, with the striker desperate to return to his homeland.

Celtic will now have to cope without Dembele and cannot sign a replacement until the transfer window opens again in January, unless they land a free agent.

Dembele has been regularly linked with a move away from Celtic in recent months and now his association with the Bhoys is over.

Lyon have also completed the signing of Lenny Pintor from Brest.
