OL loan a striker from Troyes

Olympique Lyonnais made official on Wednesday the arrival of Mama Baldé, the Bissau-Guinean striker from Estac (Ligue 2).

While Bradley Barcola could drop OL for PSG, the Lyon club has recruited a versatile striker and scorer. Mama Baldé, 27, arrives from Troyes in the form of a paying loan (2 million euros) with an option to buy estimated at 6M.

Guinea-Bissau international (20 caps – 2 goals), Mama Baldé had a more than decent last season with the Estac jersey: 12 goals and 4 assists in 34 Ligue 1 matches.

The team coached by Laurent Blanc had registered five recruits earlier this summer: Clinton Mata, Skelly Alvero, Duje Caleta-Car, Jake O’Brien and Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
