[edit] Early career

Luyindula began his career at Niort and in his first professional season scored 8 goals where he caught the eye of Strasbourg scoring 19 goals in 24 months. He earnt a reputation as one of the hottest French prospects.

[edit] Lyon

Luyindula continued his progress up the football ladder after coming to the attention of French giants Lyon. In January 2002 he completed a £5.5m transfer to Lyon and continued his good form scoring 6 goals and helping Lyon win the French League. He remained at Lyon for the next two season winning two more League Championships.

[edit] Marseille

Following the club record sale of Didier Drogba for £24 million pounds to Chelsea, Marseille set their sights on Luyindula as a replacement. Although Luyindula expressed his desire to remain at the Lyon and despite their recent success the club still suffered from financial troubles and a sale looked probable. Eventually he completed a £7.5m move to l'OM.
