"Tino Can Bring Us A Lot," - Lyon As Kadewere Is Officially Unveiled

Olympic Lyon sporting director Juninho Pernambucano has expressed hope that Warriors striker Tonotenda Kadewere will thrive at the club despite competition from former Manchester United Striker Memphis Depay and Mousa Dembele.

The former Brazilian midfielder spoke following the official unveiling of Kadewere by the club this Wednesday. He said:

Tino is able to play alone in front of, but also behind another striker. He is not a very greedy person in the game. He is complementary with Moussa Dembélé.

The arrival of Karl Toko Ekambi has allowed us to change the way we play and Tino Kadewere will be able to thrive with lots of space. We want to have a better season and Tino can bring us a lot.

Many have agreed that Kadewere faces stiff competition from his new teammates and fears were that he might not make it into the first-regular team.

The 24-year-old striker was officially named the 2019/20 golden boot winner in the French Ligue 2 after netting twenty goals for Le Havre in twenty-four games before the season was prematurely ended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Lyon signed him and agreed with Le Havre that he would finish the 2019-20 season and then join his new team.
