As Lyon look for a replacement for Memphis Depay, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury, one candidate is Villarreal forward Karl Toko Ekambi.
The French side have dropped to 12th position in Ligue 1 and are seven points off of the Champions League qualification spots, so they are looking to turn their season around with big January signings.
Atletico Madrid's Thomas Lemar and Valencia's Kevin Gameiro have previously been linked but now a 20 million euro offer for the Villarreal man has been suggested by L'Equipe.
That would mean a two million euro profit for the Yellow Submarine, having signed him for 18 million euros in 2018, but that offer could be increased to seal a deal.
Ekambi shone when previously in France, featuring for Angers as he scored 17 goals in the 2017/18 campaign.
Currently, it still seems unlikely that Villarreal would accept such a bid for their second top goalscorer on six goals, given that he is a key man for Javi Calleja and ended last season as their top scorer with 18 goals.
