Zimbabwe international and Olympique Lyon striker Tino Kadewere has joined French Ligue One rivals Nantes on loan for the remainder of the season.

The January transfer window opened across European leagues on New Year’s Day and Kadewere’s move on January 2 became one of the earliest.

Although he has been getting game time lately, Kadewere has struggled for goals at Lyon and has nothing to his name for both goals and assists after 11 appearances as a substitute.

He missed the other six goals due to injury and non selection.

Nantes have been struggling, losing six of their last eight games and managing just four points.

Kadewere and Lyon handed Nantes the latest defeat on the last round of Ligue One action for 2023 on December 20.

Nantes are 13th in the 18-team French Ligue One with 18 points from 17 games while Lyon are 15th with 16 points from 17 matches.

Kadewere’s new interim club will be at home to Clermont on January 14 for their next league game of a difficult season.
