According to France Football, Nacer Chadli of West Bromwich Albion has been linked with a move to Olympique Lyonnais after turning heads with his impressive performances at the 2018 World Cup. West Brom signed Chadli from Tottenham Hotspur for £13.5m in 2016. He was a fringe first-team player at Spurs and was unhappy at his lack of game time. He was given just what he wanted at the Baggies, making 31 Premier League appearances, scoring and assisting five respectively.
However, in the 2017-18 Premier League campaign, Chadli was practically non-existent. He played a total of five games and scored once, missing the rest of the season due to injury. He featured a couple of times for the West Brom U23s mid-season but lacked the fitness level to return to the first team. It’s no wonder, then, that Baggies fans were shocked to find out that Chadli had been called up to play for Belgium in the World Cup, appearing to be in far better shape than he had been whilst at the Hawthorns last season.
