Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele arrived in France on Sunday evening ahead of joining his former club Lyon on loan.
The French side had initially targeted Tottenham's Giovani Lo Celso but he is talking to Spanish side Villarreal.
Ndombele was in talks over a move to Paris St Germain last week who wanted him to link-up with his good friend Kylian Mbappe.
PSG had been keen to offload Leandro Paredes as part of a swap deal but that was soon rejected. Talks had looked to be heading in the right direction at the end of last week but ultimately broke down with Tottenham looking for better terms.
