French U21 defender signs for Lyon to bolster defensive line ahead of January transfer window.

The French youth international, Yannick Ndompa, has signed a new contract with the French club Ligue 1 side Lyon until June 2023. The 25-year-old defender is set to join the team from his current club, AS Saint-Etienne.

Ndompa is known for his defensive skills and experience, having made over 80 appearances for his country France in Europe's top divisions. He has also played for several other teams including Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.

In his previous stint at AS Saint-Etienne, he scored five goals in all competitions last season. However, it seems that the move to Lyon will be more about building a strong defensive line for the upcoming season.

Lyon is one of the most successful clubs in France, having won the Coupe de la Ligue three times and the Coupe de la Champions League once. They have a strong squad with experienced players who can help improve their defense.

Ndompa has been impressed by the club's training facilities and believes that they have the right environment to develop his game. He also expressed his excitement about the opportunity to play for the national team again.

Despite his signing, it remains to be seen how much impact Ndompa will have on the team. As he continues to develop, it will be interesting to see how well he fits into the Lyon team and how he contributes to their defense.
