Cameroon forward Karl Toko-Ekambi has joined Rennes on loan until the end of the season from their Ligue 1 rivals Lyon, the two clubs announced on Thursday.
The 30-year-old has scored four goals this season for a Lyon team struggling despite the recent appointment as coach of former France boss Laurent Blanc.
His arrival in Brittany boosts a Rennes side who are fifth in the table but have lost top scorer Martin Terrier for the rest of the season to a serious knee injury.
Lyon said they would receive €1.5 million plus a potential one million more in bonuses as a loan fee for a player who featured for Cameroon at the recent World Cup in Qatar and in the side that won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2017.
