Redknapp said: “We are hoping to do something, we are hoping to loan him.
“He’s a good player, he’s played at Liverpool and Aston Villa.
“He won the golden boot one year at the European Championships.
“He’s got pace and makes good runs. He’ll be a good loan signing.
“It’s a terrific opportunity to have him here and have a good look at him.
“He’s at a big club. Lyon’s a terrific club and he’s not getting in the side.
“They’ve got fantastic strikers. The boy Fred can’t get in the team and he’d cost around £12million to buy.
“Tottenham have tried to buy him as he can’t get in the team. They are overloaded with so many good strikers.”
