The coach of the French team Lyon, Paulo Fonseca, expressed his happiness with the signing of the Brazilian star Endrick during the current winter transfer window on loan until the end of the season, coming from Real Madrid.

Fonseca said in press statements: "Endrick is a different player. We really needed him. He looks very good in training. We are very happy to have him with us."

Fonseca clarified the condition of Endrick and his stance on participating with the team: "He is in good physical condition, and he has trained in Madrid, but he is not yet ready to play a full 90 minutes."

Endrick’s joining comes at a time when Lyon is seeking to strengthen its squad for the French league competitions, while the Brazilian player hopes to regain his level and perform better after his playing opportunities with the Spanish team declined during the current season.

Lyon is preparing to face their counterpart Monaco tomorrow, Saturday, in the seventeenth round of the French league, at the Louis II Stadium.
