It had become an open secret, the arrival of four Parisian players on the Lyon side. They had alternately announced their departure from the capital, before their signature was formalized on Friday, July 1, now free of any contract with PSG.

The Parisian fans had already resigned to their departure, the club of the capital sees four international players leaving for the rival Lyon. A bloodletting that has a relationship with the end of the season PSG, and this defeat at Gerland Champions League.

In Lyon to "win titles"

This culture of winning that may be lacking at PSG, Kenza Dali hopes to find her in the club of his debut, OL with whom she started in D1 in 2009 before joining Rodez then PSG. Despite a season 2015-2016 marked by injuries, Kenza Dali has emerged as a player essential to PSG and France team. It assumes its departure for Lyon by its desire to "build a track record", an objective that only seems possible in the Rhone.

 

Kenza Dali "When I left at 21, in 2013, the goal was to come back one day to Lyon with another status (...) Now, I want to build myself a winners."

Winning titles but also continuing to "progress" is the speech made by Jessica Houara d'Hommeaux and Kheira Hamraoui when arriving in Lyon. Jessica Houara d'Hommeaux coming out of seven full seasons with Paris, despite Kenza Dali's injuries this season that have sometimes kept him off the field.

Both international, they also have in common to have arrived from Saint-Etienne at the time of their signature in the capital. It is therefore for both a form of progression with the hope, as Kenza Dali that the arrival to the OL is the pinnacle of their career in term of titles but also of quality of game in the field.

A reinforced midfielder

Caroline Seger is the most experienced of the four Lyon recruits, Like Hamraoui and Dali, she comes to replace the departures of Louisa Nécib and Amandine Henry in the midfield. As part of the Swedish selection, she has also won some championship titles in her home country but never in France. She hopes to have the same success as her compatriot Lotta Schelin and win why not a new European crown with OL
