Olympique Lyon chief Bernard Lacombe believes Gregory Coupet still has a good three years at the top left in him.

The 35 year-old France No1 is leaving Lyon and is a target for Tottenham. Lacombe said: "Greg would have been able to have two, three seasons with us but he chose another path. It reminds me of the departure of Sonny Anderson. It was believed that the club could not recover, but we continued to win."
