According to TF1 (via GFFN), Everton left-back Lucas Digne had been convinced about a possible move to Ligue 1 side Lyon next month, but the arrival of manager Carlo Ancelotti appears to have changed his mind.
The French giants – currently in 12th place in the league table and 12 points adrift the automatic Champions League spots – are looking to make key and quality additions to their squad in January in order to turn their campaign around, and they have Digne on their radar.
TF1 claims that the France international had been convinced about the Lyon project, but the extent of Everton’s ability to keep hold of him has been further strengthened by the arrival of the Italian manager.
