Lyon swoop for goalkeeper Tatarusanu

Goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu has signed a three-year deal at Lyon after his contract with Nantes expired.

The 33-year-old, formerly of Steaua Bucharest and Fiorentina, spent the previous two campaigns with Nantes, who finished 12th in Ligue 1 last season.

Tatarusanu is Romania’s first-choice keeper and Lyon said he will provide an experienced option “alongside” Anthony Lopes.

However, Lopes has been linked with Valencia, Porto and Roma.
