More really in the odor of sanctity on the side of Olympique Lyonnais, Karl Toko-Ekambi could give in to the temptation to join Saudi Arabia in the new fashionable championship.

Indeed, according to information from Le Progrès, KTE is very close to joining Saudi Arabia and more specifically Al-Shabab.

There is no doubt that the new Lyon team will not oppose it, the former Angers player having become a real burden to manage with the supporters who are permanently alienated.
