West Ham United midfielder Julien Faubert is desperate for a move to Lyon.

"I am crossing my fingers - the two clubs are in talks," the one-time France cap told Aujourd'hui Sport.

"Lyon would really be great. I would rediscover Ligue 1 and France but also the Champions League and the eyes of the national-team coach. Because my aim still remains the 2010 World Cup.

"I really hope this is going to sort itself out."
