Lyon to offer Taiwo escape route from Milan

Lyon are ready to bid for Milan full-back Taye Taiwo, Radio Monte Carlo reveals.

The Nigerian defender arrived to San Siro from Marseille on a free transfer in the summer, but he has failed to prove his credentials in Serie A.

The Rossoneri are now looking to cash in on the 26-year-old and a return to French Ligue 1 could be on the cards.

With Aly Cissokho widely tipped to leave Gerland in January, Lyon believe that Taiwo would be a good replacement for the talented full-back.

Les Gones are looking to bid for the Nigerian international in January, with Milan reportedly asking for €5 million.
