Argentine striker Lisandro Lopez arrived in Lyon on Saturday to finalise his 24-million-euro move from FC Porto, club officials said.

The 26-year-old centre forward was the Portuguese league’s top scorer in the 2007/08 season, finding the net 24 times. Last season he garnered a more modest 10 goals.

The deal, costing 24 million euros with a further 4 million payable in goal-related bonuses, is the highest ever player fee paid by the deposed French champions.
