Martin Terrier responds to Moussa Dembele joining Lyon from Celtic.
Moussa Dembele is not the only talented French attacker to join Lyon in 2018.
Lyon signed Martin Terrier in January from Lille, before allowing him to complete his loan at Strasbourg.
Terrier is trying to force his way into the Lyon team and was quizzed about Dembele’s arrival from Celtic this week.
The forward knows Dembele from the French under-21 set up and says he is not deterred by the big money transfer.
Lyon paid £19.7 million to sign Dembele, twice the fee they spent on Terrier.
Terrier told Made In Foot: “With Moussa Dembélé, we have often been lined up together in Espoirs, and we have both been effective, it can be good with him in Lyon too.
“There will be a lot of games to play and playing time for all. I am surrounded by very good players. I have my card to play, with a profile different from other attackers.”
Dembele spent two years at Celtic and won everything there was to win in Scotland twice over, playing a part in their historic unbeaten domestic season in 2016/17.
He has a chance to play in the Champions League against Manchester City later this month, a team he scored against for Celtic in the same competition two years ago.
