Another Olympique Lyonnais player is reported to be coming to the NWSL this year. In an interview with Canal+, which was reported in Le Progres, OL Groupe president Jean-Michel Aulas said striker/attacking mid Eugénie Le Sommer will be leaving this summer for the United States. His remarks came during a wide-ranging interview about offseason changes to OL’s roster, including hints that more Americans would be coming to Lyon.
After extensive speculation about the French international’s club future as her contract was due to expire next month, Le Sommer finally signed a new two-year contract with OL in March, so any move is likely to be a loan rather than a full transfer.
