PARIS (Reuters) - Olympique Lyonnais have signed midfielder Jean Lucas from Brazilian club Flamengo for eight million euros (7 million pounds) on a five-year contract, the French Ligue 1 side said on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old Brazilian made his league debut for Flamengo last year but was loaned to Santos at the start of the current season, which began on April 27.
