Paris: French football club Lyon has announced that it has signed young defender Louis Nganioni, who will start his professional career.

The France Under-20 international, who came through the Lyon youth system, on Friday signed a three-year deal, Xinhua reported on Saturday.

Lyon drafted Nganioni in 2010. Nganioni was a regular at the Under-20 level as the team capped him seven times. He has no chance so far to play in Ligue 1, though he played in several pre-season matches last year.

As Ligue 1 runners-up of last year, Lyon will compete in the Champions League next season. Lyon have completed several summer signings to strengthen the squad, such as defender Jeremy Morel from Marseille and winger Claudio Beauvue from Guingamp.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
