PARIS, July 11 (Reuters) - Olympique Lyon have signed Argentina striker Lisandro Lopez from Porto on a five-year deal, the Ligue 1 club said on its website (www.olweb.fr) on Saturday.

"Lisandro Lopez signed a five-year professional contract with Lyon today, after he passed a medical," a statement said.

The two sides had agreed a fee of 24 millions euros ($33.48 million), Lyon announced earlier this week.

The 26-year-old Argentine international, who scored six goals in 10 Champions League matches last season, helped Porto win the domestic league title from 2006 to 2009.
