Less than a year after his arrival at the Ligue 1 club, the Belgium international is performing to a consistently high standard
Playing in a side among stars like Memphis Depay and Nabil Fekir, it’s not easy for a defender to take the spotlight, yet there is a strong case to argue that defender Jason Denayer has been Lyon’s most consistent player this season.
The 23-year-old Belgium international even seems to have solved the central defensive headache that Lyon have had for the past seven years since the retirement of Cris.
When Denayer arrived from Manchester City on August 21, there was little fanfare about his arrival.
