Lyon striker Bertrand Traore admits he could force a move away in the coming weeks.

The former Chelsea youth teamer has been linked with a return to England, where Fulham and Newcastle United are keen.

Traore told L'Etalon: "I am 25 years old, I have played wherever I have been.

"If my situation in Lyon doesn't change, I can't stay on the bench all the time. I need to play.

"I have no time to waste, I'm no longer an 18, 19 or 20 year old player. We'll see what happens."
