Eagle Football now holds 77.49 per cent of Olympique Lyonnais, having completed the acquisition of 39.2 million shares, the French Ligue 1 soccer club said on Monday.

After two delays in the transaction, in September and in October, U.S. investor John Textor said in early December his Eagle Football Holding LLC would go through with the purchase of the club, confirming a week later that all consents that were necessary have been obtained, and related agreements signed.
