Depay: I’m proud to captain Lyon and happy Aouar stayed

Lyon attacker Memphis Depay says he is ready to give his all for the club, despite a failed transfer to Barcelona in the summer – and he is heartened to see Houssem Aouar remain too.

Both men had been expected to depart before the October 5 transfer deadline, but the moves to Barca and Arsenal respectively did not make it over the line.

The Netherlands star is now looking forward to firing Lyon back to where they belong after a sluggish start to the season which has seen them win only one of six league fixtures.
