"Bafé and Jimmy Briand are awaiting departure. "
 
Decent goal ratio for a winger throughout his career.

Years Team Apps (Gls)
2002–2005 Rennes B 50 (26)
2002–2010 Rennes 169 (33)
2010– Lyon 85 (16)

Seems like he can be used as both a winger and striker.
Has played for France National Team from the age of U16 uptil the national squad (5 games)
Quick as hell with a decent crossing and finishing, source: our beloved Utube.

Video is from 2009, so nothing from his time in Lyon

I would probably give him a go depending on what he would cost
 
Here's a better assessment of him

He looks good, we should get him signed.
 
He has a very pointy head. If he heads the ball it may burst

Didn't Kamil Zayatte have a really weird shaped head?

I've seen a few Lyon games, but I only saw him play twice and then he got injured. He's pretty quick and his finishing is very tidy. He does tend to try adventurous stuff though, so maybe he'd have to consider a more sensible style of play for the PL.
 
From Lyon to THE Tigers. I've a good feline about this.
 
he's really decent but is like Aluko. he's very pacey but isn't an out and out striker/poacher, more of a run maker and space creator. However I would absolutely have him.
