Lyon seal Baros deal

Lyon have completed the signing of Aston Villa's Czech Republic international striker Milan Baros.
The French side are managed by Gerard Houllier who worked with Baros when the pair were at Liverpool.
The then Reds boss signed the 25-year-old for £3.6million from Banik Ostrava in December 2001 and Baros went on to score 19 goals in 68 Premiership games for the club.
After top-scoring at Euro 2004, Baros moved to Villa Park in August 2005 but endured a disappointing time in the Midlands.
He scored just nine goals in 42 Premiership games for Villa and managed only one this term - at Sheffield United last month.
The striker missed a string of chances in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Watford and was booed by a section of the Villa Park faithful.
