Olympique Lyonnais has persuaded Angers midfielder Himad Abdelli, 26, to move to the club this winter. The Algerian international's contract ends in six months. Lyon now needs to agree on a transfer fee with Angers, as the selling club was unwilling to lose its best player mid-season. A transfer fee of slightly more than one million euros is reportedly under consideration. This season, Abdelli has made 13 appearances and scored 2 goals in Ligue 1. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €7.00m. The player has also been linked with Sevilla, Leeds United, and Torino.
