Chelsea striker Bertrand Traore has given his verbal commitment to Lyon.
L'Equipe says Traore is set for a summer switch to Ligue 1.
Negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs, notably over the structure of certain bonuses.
But a deal is apparently expected to be completed in the coming days for Traore's permanent transfer away from Stamford Bridge.
Traore spent last season on-loan at Ajax.
