The Ligue 1 giants are looking to make one last summer signing before the transfer market closes. Reports have linked Les Dogues with a move for Nicolas Isimat-Mirin
Last night, LOSC Lille lost to Paris Saint-Germain at the Grand Stade Metropole. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 scored his second brace for the Paris club.
Following the defeat, Lille coach, Rudi Garcia shed some light on the club’s ambition to sign one more player before the transfer markets shuts its doors. The Frenchman is keen on acquiring the services of a defender but knows that the club does not have the means to do so.
“I do not think much will happen before the end of the transfer window. I wish to sign a central defender but have no means,” said Garcia after the game against PSG last night.
With just a few days left till the end of the transfer window, Garcia would like to have at least one central defender.
Although the defensive pairing of Aurelien Chedjou and Marko Basa has remained solid so far, the club has no backup apart from replacing luxury http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Rozehnal-c10594 who showed his defensive limitations last season.
Reports claim that Les Dogues have already targeted a defender in 20-year-old Nicolas Isimat-Mirin. The youngster is currently under contract at Valenciennes where he has shown a lot of promise.
Under contract with VA until June 2015, the defender’s club would certainly be very greedy in this regard. Reports in RMC claim that Lille are willing to pay VAFC 5 million Euros for the services of Isimat-Mirin plus Ronny Rodelin on a season-long loan in order to convince their northern neighbours to let go of the talented starlet.
Many people feel that 5 million euros is a huge price to pay for a defender who still has a lot to prove and has little experience in all fairness.
Isimat-Mirin, a Clairefontaine academy graduate, has so far made just 31 Ligue 1 appearances for Valenciennes since 2010. Moreover, the youngster’s performances last season showed that he still has a long way to go in becoming a solid defender which means that Les Dogues should be careful in their dealings with the player’s club.
