Toko Ekambi: Villarreal loanee targeting long-term Lyon stay

Karl Toko Ekambi has expressed his desire to make his loan deal at Lyon permanent.

The 27-year-old forward returned to France in January to join Rudi Garcia’s side temporarily from Villarreal for the remainder of the season, with a purchase option.

The France-born Cameroon international previously played for Angers in Ligue 1, scoring 24 goals across two campaigns in the French top-flight before switching to Spain.
