Lyon are being linked with a move for Real Salt Lake right winger Zavier Gozo, with the 19-year-old United States and Côte d’Ivoire prospect rumoured to be on the French club’s radar ahead of a potential summer switch.
The Olympique Lyonnais interest remains at speculation stage, with the probability of any transfer currently listed as “?” and no agreement reported between the clubs. Gozo is contracted to MLS side Real Salt Lake, but with no public details of a fixed expiry date, observers have noted the possibility that he could become a free agent in future windows, which would likely intensify European competition for his signature.
Born on 22 March 2007 in West Valley City, Utah, Gozo has emerged from the Salt Lake system as a right‑footed attacker who primarily operates on the right wing. Standing at 1.80m and wearing shirt number 72, he is viewed as one of the club’s most intriguing young talents, with his current market value estimated at €4.00m on Transfermarkt.
The dual-national teenager, eligible for both the United States and Côte d’Ivoire, is officially listed with Real Salt Lake as his current club side, having been integrated into their first‑team structure in Major League Soccer. Detailed contract information, including start and end dates, has not been disclosed, adding another layer of uncertainty around any potential transfer fee or free‑agent scenario.
Recent MLS outings have further underlined his promise, with his performances drawing increasing attention from European scouts, though specific match data such as goals and assists have not been formally recorded in the source data provided here.
For Lyon, who compete in Ligue 1 and have a strong track record of developing young attacking players, a move for a relatively low‑cost, €4m‑rated winger would fit a long‑term recruitment strategy. If a deal does materialise, the switch from MLS to one of France’s most prominent clubs could mark a pivotal step in Gozo’s career, shaping both his international prospects and his reputation as one of the next wave of transatlantic talents.
