Jonathan David has left, LOSC finds himself in the obligation to recruit before. And it is not an attacker, but probably two who risk landing very soon in the North. As we revealed to you on Wednesday, Olivier Giroud is about to return to Ligue 1 to 38 years old. The desire is reciprocal and the case is already well taken on board. But it is badly knowing Olivier Letang to think that the 2018 world champion will come alone to replace the Canadian serial scorer.
In parallel with the Giroud file, LOSC is eyeing another striker for several weeks. After thinking of Matthis Abbline, it was towards Hamza Igamane that Lille turned. A track whose existence we revealed to you on June 12. And it would seem that the northern club has passed a strong competition, as had mentioned LePetitLillois.
Constructive discussions, a transfer that could reach € 15 million
If some English clubs, OM and Lens have had a brief interest in the player, another Ligue 1 club (Strasbourg or Rennes) is still in the race, but at a much less advanced stage than the training coached by Bruno Genesio. According to our information, the Moroccan striker of the Glasgow Rangers had a positive meeting with Lille in recent hours.
An oral agreement on a long -term contract was even reached with the very excited player at the idea of evolving in Ligue 1.. Now, the two clubs must put themselves around the table and start concrete discussions in the coming hours. The operation could cost more than fifteen million euros in LOSC.
The 22 -year -old Moroccan international scorer is a powerful attacker, technically fairly clean with a good back to goal, and rather skillful in front of the goal, attest to his 16 goals and 3 46 -game offerings with Scottish training. Statistics and a margin of progression that make him an ideal candidate for the succession of Jonathan David.
